I need to go be productive, but please ask him about the cease fire and Iran still lobbing missiles like drunk barbarians last night. With the worthless MSM not mentioning this at all.
People said Sec Hegseth mentioned that communication is so poor that they may resort to carrier pidgeons. That may explain their bombardments to Israel, the UAE, Saudi and even Iraq?

President Trump: The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear “Dust.” It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!). Nothing has been touched from the date of attack. We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran. Many of the 15 points have already been been agreed to. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

And the first half was ok - he pointed out it was capitalism. And then he even got into Deng Xiao Ping and how his experiments with capitalism made China the power it is today.
Oh, did I mention Mr Harris is one of those voxplainer guys?
Yes so the second half covers why capitalism is bad. Did you know not everyone's wealth increased at the same rate? And have you heard of GLOBAL WARMING?!? Why its going to kill us all! We have only 12 years left to save the planet!

As a parallel, when Emperor Hirohito decided to surrender to the US, his junior officers objected and went as far as to try a coup to prevent it. Many of the field commanders also vowed to ignore any calls for surrender and fight on.

Donald Trump is completely unhinged. His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response. The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III.
For years, Republicans have enabled and excused Donald Trump’s deeply dangerous and extreme behavior. Enough is enough. Our brave men and women in uniform have been put into harm’s way in the Middle East. Over a dozen have already been killed and hundreds injured. Gas prices are skyrocketing, the cost of living in America is out of control and billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a reckless war of choice.
It’s time for House Republicans to put patriotic duty over party loyalty and join Democrats in stopping this madness.

Gun control is one of the dumber issues if you really do look into it.
Ok, America has "gun violence". Almost all of it by a small group of people engaged in all sorts of criminality.
So the answer is...throw people that commit existing crimes in jail for a long time or execute them right?
No...the answer is let those people out on the streets and put the people who aren't committing crimes with their guns in jail for having them.

It's not about logic, it's about control. They want the State, in their hands, to have an absolute monopoly on violence. Once they have that, they can do what they want. (See also: German, France, England)
They fear an armed populace will rise against THEM. Remove THEM from power.
Sadly, 2020 proved that will never happen.

You are 100% right. But just analyzing the issue even on their own terms.
Send the cops into urban areas, arrest everyone with an outstanding warrant and give them a LONG prison term/execution and the problem goes away. This is something the GOPe will occasionally talk about but not consisently enough

Gun control is one of the dumber issues if you really do look into it.
Ok, America has "gun violence". Almost all of it by a small group of people engaged in all sorts of criminality.
So the answer is...throw people that commit existing crimes in jail for a long time or execute them right?
No...the answer is let those people out on the streets and put the people who aren't committing crimes with their guns in jail for having them.

To wit, it was only because he announced ahead of time (which he's criticized past idiot POTUSes like W, DogEater, and F. Joe AutoPen for doing) that we were going to take out all of Iran's power plants and bridges that they were able to mobilize human shields -- giving their allies and our Treasonous Fifth Column Left all of their "War Crimes" and "Impeachment" talking points, and likely forcing Trump to back down. [Again, this may have been intentional and perhaps he was actually going to target different infrastructures, so that could have been a deceptive head fake.
I wasn't happy about him revealing the "Discombobulator" technology -- nor now the "Ghost Murmur" technology that somebody (CIA, DOD, or Lockheed Martin "sources") leaked to the New York Post. [Again, the caveat here is that these were intentional leaks and in some manner disinformation to accomplish some goals unstated.]

Even in WW2 the Brits had to abandon the Pacific as they could not stop the Japanese and mostly just ran from them. Churchill realized their Pacific holdings depended completely on the US Navy. They could not even take Germany on their own, much less the Japanese. They weren't strong then, and are markedly weaker now.

Notwithstanding what we’ve seen in actual real video of protests across various cities. Not to mention verified accounts of jailing, murder and what not. I am not saying that as a call for action by us. But it’s actual facts. Then you have the trolls coming in, thinking people can’t figure out who they are, and making unsubstantiated claims. Weird.

They were powerful- as long as they could concentrate force. Their holdings were so far flung that the two front (Japan and Germany) exposed the weakness there. They could not divert forces from Europe because they feared invasion.
Meanwhile we did not depend on colonial holdings for resources and men. So, we could sit here in Fortress North America and project power without having to draw it in.

Early on, the US bombed a few of the Iranian checkpoints. The purpose of those checkpoints was to keep protestors and disidents from grouping up and overwhelming defenses in any given "urban" areas. Then the US stopped abruptly. My guess is that they saw the wisdom of arming the disidents first, and then coordinating it so it is more effective when the time comes.
Haven't heard much about Mossad lately, but it's a good bet they are in the area of some of those key checkpoints waiting.

Then the balloon went up in the Pacific. And what was left of the Royal Navy, such as HMS Exeter and hero of the Battle of the River Platte, were quickly swept aside or sunk with their American and Dutch allies in the Dutch East Indies.
December 26th, 1941 would see HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse be sunk while returning to port by Japanese airpower.
Then the British would lose an aircraft carrier, HMS Hermes, and several other ships when Nagumo's carrier force struck Ceylon.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Iranian citizens gathered on the White Bridge in Ahvaz, forming a human chain to protect key infrastructure amid US-Israel threats, stressing that attacks on civilian facilities are widely regarded as violations of international law.Civilian-led? Place your bets. The Hill:
A video shared by the Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Mumbai highlighted the civilian-led effort, underscoring that ordinary Iranians do not want to see their country’s infrastructure damaged in the escalating conflict.
Iranian officials on Tuesday urged their people to form human chains around power plants as the country faces a deadline set by President Trump to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or risk major strikes on civilian and energy infrastructure. The regime called on "all young people, athletes, artists, students and university students and their professors" to protect power plants threatened by Trump, according to The Associated Press. "Power plants that are our national assets and capital," Alireza Rahimi, identified by Iranian state television as the secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents, reportedly said in a video statement.Go collect your winnings. I guess the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents isn't the IRGC and so is "civilian" but this ain't exactly the grassroots movement that Consulate General implied. That video, assuming it's real, is available on X. This is an altogether typical play by what's left of the Iranian government to slaughter young people in order to then cry crocodile tears in the "international community" while their fifth column calls Trump and our soldiers, sailors and airmen a bunch of diabolical baby-killers. They always do this. That isn't all Iran is threatening and staging. Per the Jerusalem Post, Iran is also threatening retaliation:
Iran has also signaled that any attack on its energy network could trigger retaliation against civilian infrastructure elsewhere in the region. Previous reports said Iranian and IRGC officials had warned that if Iran’s fuel and energy facilities were hit, Tehran could target Israeli power plants, gas rigs, desalination systems, and other strategic civilian sites.They will surely try, though Iran's recent efficacy has not been particularly great and hopefully will remain that way. But that is beside the point. Even if Iran has the capability to effectively retaliate, the state-sponsored sacrifice of Iranians would still happen. This is what Islamists do. They do it by choice even in the face of alternatives. It is the preferred tactic, not a desperation move. There is a reason they store and manufacture arms in hospitals and mosques and schools, and use the same as operational bases. They love ensuring that their own will die during their glorious jihad. There is much in it for them, after all. Dead kids rile people up and so long as they can successfully blame the enemy for the death and deflect away from their own culpability, it's a powerful tool on the homefront. It also, crucially, is a powerful tool for their fifth columns to use. You can be sure the pre-printed signs about Trump and Hegseth's war crimes for targeting civilians are already staged and ready to go, and countless column-inches about their evil are already written. It's as predictable as the sunrise. The blame for the coming civilian casualties will almost entirely rest with the regime, just as it does for Hamas and Hezbollah and the Taliban and all the rest - but the propaganda blitz to come will likely be a thing to behold. It's the real point. It's why, despicable and cynical as it is, the Islamists' love of human shields is entirely predictable and wholly typical.

Iran was sending missiles and cluster bombs to Israel. Sirens blaring in Tel Aviv and other areas. After patience for a few hours, Israel sent in air strikes to Tehran and other parts of Iran.
Iran also sent gifts of missiles to Saudi, UAE and, oddly, Iraq (near the US Embassy).
Yemen tried to join Iran and sent some duds to Israel.
Yet NO mention of this I can find in the MSM this morning, and I thought there would be. I reckon the USA has cease firings but Israel has not...and I don't blame them. I hope they flatten Iran.
Is the idea, now, to let the ME finish the job? I am so confused but won't lose any sleep over it.

They'll be able to secure both the Hormuz and, if directed, take Kharg Island. The "whack-a-mole" horseshit with the IRGC will end up being the bigger issue to resolve... IMO. But, yes, if the IRGC is as recalcitrant as I think they are, there will be American Soldiers on the ground in Iran.

Oil is down as ace pointed out
Time for ME countries to protect infrastructure
Who knows about revolution actions
Someone else here pointed out we can see if anyone in Iran is in charge.
Countries can up oil production for round 2.
We get a chance to get more weapons to the area.
We can see if the Europeans actually do something to protect the strait or see if they are completely useless.
We'll see. I'll save the chocolate.

The USA owes these people nothing. Nada. Zilch. Dick. Whatever relationship they have with their own government, that's on them. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Yet we carry on endlessly about these people.
We better hope we never go to war against a pier military (assuming there is any left). Our squeamish simping over enemy "civilians" will be our undoing. We might have all the military superiority in the world, but we seem to care more about foreign enemy "civilians" than we do our own troops. We will never win a pier war like that.

When and if the US bombs Iranian infrastructure, the Iranian government will have stopped forcing civilians to shield it. They'll just have moved on and forgotten.
Also, are a number of ways to render power plants and bridges unusable without destroying them.
I'm not sure if the infrastructure threat should be taken at face value anyway. It's about manipulation -- both the Iranian government and our so-called allies.
Whatever Trump is up to, I wouldn't bet that the plan includes leaving the IRGC in power.

Whatever happens from here, it happens with them knowing that they better not try much while he is still POTUS.
That said, I don't expect things will magically improve, but I also don't see them nuking anyone for the next 10 years or so. I think that Iran is going to fragment. So the local situation is going to be bad. I don't think as a Country they will have an effective means to bankroll a Manhattan project, or export/support as much terror. The control of, or loss of control of, Karg island is going to have a lot of swing weight.

Arrogant know it all, who is like the toad that tried to swell up to intimidate the bull and wound up popping himself.
Good insight into what things have been, and I understand he is a good organizer and decent trial lawyer, but he has too much involved with the status quo ante to act against what he had figured out. He considers the forever wars to be the greatest weapon against personal liberty, and I agree with him. However he also can't imagine that the world may have changed, at least for a moment under Trump.
Also I suspect he has a gambling habit and equivalent bad debt.

Regardless of whether the US or the IRGC blinked, we're likely at the point where the real bloodletting is gonna start. But we won't need to lift a finger, it'll all be internal purges and massacres of a passive population or outright civil war.
The rest of the world is probably going to get a breather for a couple of years as the internal power struggle in Persia sorts itself out. Even if the IRGC wants to throw cash at fellow savages like Hamas or Hezbollah, they only have so much $ available, and what financial resources they DO have will need to be spent on internal fighting.

Ideally there would be only one tax at the federal level and so therefore federal spending and how it impacts you personally would be pretty clear.
But there are smaller reforms - for example make the IRS "do your taxes" and send you the bill instead of requiring individuals to do them. Don't like their results? Then you can still do them yourself.
But for most people the government already has all the information it needs - it is just making people do math with the fun risk of fines and jail time if you screw up.

Regardless of whether the US or the IRGC blinked, we're likely at the point where the real bloodletting is gonna start. But we won't need to lift a finger, it'll all be internal purges and massacres of a passive population or outright civil war.
The rest of the world is probably going to get a breather for a couple of years as the internal power struggle in Persia sorts itself out. Even if the IRGC wants to throw cash at fellow savages like Hamas or Hezbollah, they only have so much $ available, and what financial resources they DO have will need to be spent on internal fighting.

Agree. at minimum, they have a lot to pay attention to inside their own borders, and sword of Damocles hanging above if they push their luck. Whatever they do, it is going to be orders of magnitude reduced for a long time. They need to get themselves sorted and they know it.

What, you don't think it's a good idea to check the government's work? Your tax return might be the first indication you have that some illegal alien is using your SSN
The taxes do need to be simplified though.
And specific use taxes, like fuel tax, which is assessed for road maintenance, need to go directly to the agency that oversees the purpose for which that tax is charged: do not pass Congress, do not skim off 50% for progtard projects

All this Sturm und Drang can be laid at the feet of the galumphing goober farmer who refused to rise up to the needs of the occasion and administer a fierce and bloody pounding to the faces and lives of those in Iran who had committed an act of war by violating the sovereignty of our embassy in Tehran and taking the staff hostage.
The butcher's bill and its accrued interest that he gifted to this country as a result has been most costly and the price to close out the account is what faces us now.
But let's not fool ourselves. Back in 1979 Mister Carter had plenty of fellow travelers who supported our government, our society and not a small part of our people sitting on our hands with our thumbs up our asses all these forty-seven years. It has been yet another triumph for the Best and Brightest among us.

Trump continues to be brilliant!
He now controls Venezuelan oil.
He now controls the Straights of Hormuz (Iran will cede this soon enough) where China gets 45% of it's oil. China is currently in tariff negotiations with the US...now who has the upper hand?
Europe is becoming hugely, bigly even, dependent on the US for energy. The Russian sources are suspect , and the lefty net-zero bullshit is killing them.
Trump is creating Greater North America, Greenland to Panama. Entirely self-sufficient.
And he has shown Britain that they are absolutely fu*ked. They've imported millions of Islamists, they import 60% of their food, no major industry, and a military that is on it's ass. Bad days ahead for them.

The projected population of Saudi Arabia in 2025 is approximately 34.57 million to 37.99 million, depending on the source, with a median age of around 30.6 years. The population is highly urbanized (approx. 92%) and consists of roughly 20.55 million Saudi nationals and 16.41 million non-Saudis.
Thus, if they really have 375k in uniform, that's almost 2% of the entire Saudi population. Color me skeptical.
By comparison, the US:
As of 2025, the total U.S. military population includes approximately 1.32 to 1.34 million active-duty service members, with a total force strength—including Reserve and National Guard personnel—exceeding 2.1 million. The total military community, including civilians, reaches about 2.81 million people.

I think your timing is a bit off. America probably needed to be humiliated in the way we were under Carter for us to get serious again under Reagan.

I'd just had our 2nd boy and my husband, 2yr old toddler and dog were outside mowing. Son had his play mower and tripped and fell on dog. Granted, instinct if something falls on their abdomen (she was 5yrs), but she lunged to bite his head. Then stopped.
My husband said he did not know if our boy would have half his face missing or be blind. He had a puncture from a canine tooth an inch from his eye.
The dog was adopted by a lady with a ranch and we told her that small children made her nervous (otherwise she was a great dog, but had gotten fierce and attacked a small dog a few months prior to this and hated strangers).
Watch that yappy dog, Grandma. The Goldens in our grandbabies lives act like they babysat all their lives. I was amazed at how quickly they loved their new siblings and how gentle they are.

Barnes, Baris (who recently compared Israel to Nazi Germany) and those type of fellas and chicks started to go nuts after Bondis Epstein Binder to Influencer Bitch (ooooof) and made the crazy turn around the bend after Midnight Hammer last summer over Iran.
They now Epstein it up while at the same time sit around and oil up Steve Bannon. They've chosen their lot now. No coming back.

Only this will set the fire that really needs to be set.

I remember some nasty humor in Nat Lampoon back in the late 70's - there's a longstanding recruiting theme for the Marines called "The Few - The Proud - The Marines."
Nat Lampoon ran a parody ad saying "The Poor - The Black - The Marines" and in the late 70's, it was mostly true. Under Carter, we had a ghetto army.

Numerous Agreements, Lists, and Letters are being sent out by people that have absolutely nothing to do with the U.S.A. / Iran Negotiation, in many cases, they are total Fraudsters, Charlatans, and WORSE. They will be rapidly exposed after our Federal Investigation is completed. There is only one group of meaningful “POINTS” that are acceptable to the United States, and we will be discussing them behind closed doors during these Negotiations. These are the POINTS that are the basis on which we agreed to a CEASEFIRE. It is something that is reasonable, and can easily be dispensed with. It’s very much like Fake News CNN last night, headlining a “source” that had no power or authority to write a Letter claiming great authority. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump's primary goal from day one was that iran can't be allowed to have a nuke. He has reiterated that many times. As far as the straits go, I don't think there is a workable solution short of sending troops in to seize the islands and that would mean a permanent presence there and constant warfare with iran for the foreseeable future. We could do it but the cost would fare outweigh the benefit and that is not a permanent solution.
Maybe this will get the region to finally construct the pipelines that they should have built the first time iran closed the straits back in the 70s. They have the plans and it is a straightforward construction project and all of the players have agreed in principle that they need to be built but they have been dithering for almost 50 years.

Spain had the same problem in the 1600s when they gold and silver from the Indies came in, and it was more profitable to deal in banking and loans than to actually make something. The US has a similar problem with the USD being the main currency for international trade, but most of that trade does seem to go through London and European banks.
Tariffs are bringing manufacturing home to us, but Europe doesn't have anything like that to fall back on.

I got selected for jury duty on a case where a man was accused of raping his former lover with a soda bottle in the "wrong hole".
He copped a plea bargain the moment we were seated. The only reason being apparently there were only 3 men on the jury and the lawyer didn't like the odds.

Litter the entire cities with small parachutes of individual Ak's and grenades and let these "freedom lovers" collect them from the streets and rooftops and see what kind of revolution they are prepared to do. Checkpoints of IRGC thugs will disappear if grenade and rifle fire is coming in from multiple directions.

There are 100+million AK47's in the hands of people.
Our enemies have all the AK47's they want or need.
In this conflict, enemy small arms is essentially of no concern, and any arms dropped in matters not.
However the supposed Iranian street folks have nothing. Anything reaching them is potentially meaningful. Yes, some of these small arms will be swept up by IRGC but a lot will be picked up or channelled to people who may be willing to cause a revolt. That's why you parachute them in all at one time. The IRGC can't be everywhere.
"Praise Schlurpo many of you are not remotely involved in logistics."
Pfft. As demonstrated above, you have no imagination and haven't thought things through.

STORY OF THE WORK:
Archibald John Motley Jr.'s "Nightlife" (1943)
"Nightlife" by Archibald John Motley Jr. is a vibrant oil on canvas painting created in 1943, capturing the dynamic energy of Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood during the Harlem Renaissance. The work is notable for its use of bold colors and dynamic composition, reflecting the lively atmosphere of African American urban culture in the mid-20th century.
Motley, an influential figure in the Harlem Renaissance, was known for his depictions of African American life and his exploration of themes related to race and identity. His work provides a critical visual commentary on the social dynamics of the time, contributing significantly to the narrative of African American history in art.
"Nightlife" exemplifies Motley's mastery in portraying the complexities of cultural identity and the vibrancy of community life. The painting remains an important piece in understanding the cultural and historical context of African American experiences during this era.

Think how much more lively this scene would have been had not every participant been laboring under sixteen tons of oppression. Each.
What oppresses their descendants these days is the crabbed and bilious spectre of perpetual racism that their leaders and their AWFL "allies" keep spewing in their eyes and ears.

In the late 1950s, blacks were on track to match other ethnic groups by the 1980s. That trend line reversed sharply almost immediately after the so-called "Great Society" went into effect.
If the judiciary wasn't so corrupt, a class action lawsuit by black Americans against the DNC would be quite entertaining. LBJ's "I'll have those n-----s voting Democrat for 100 years" would be the star piece of evidence, of course.

1943
Artist:
Archibald John Motley Jr. (American, 1891–1981)
About this artwork
A palpable energy and sense of movement enliven Nightlife, Archibald Motley’s portrayal of a crowded cabaret in the South Side neighborhood of Bronzeville in Chicago. With stylized figures, an array of diagonal lines, and heightened colors keyed to shades of magenta and violet, the artist captured the exuberance of city dwellers out on the town. Motley created a network of gestures and glances among the people, drawing attention to the various social interactions that animate the scene.
The composition is an exploration of artificial lighting. Motley was inspired, in part, to paint Nightlife after having seen Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks (1942.51), which had entered the Art Institute’s collection the prior year.
--
About Nighthawks Edward Hopper recollected, “unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.”

This is actually like Calfornia believing they are bigger than the US. They bring so much to the tables, the other states (especially the south) are such a huge drag on them. They could make it on their own. Yadda yadda.
Commies always have a vastly inflated opinion and belief in their superiority. They truly believe they contribute vast resources and something absolutely vital.

You have heard of reconnaissance by fire. This is reconnaissance by ceasefire. You will be able to tell if they have control or not by whether they can maintain the ceasefire. If they cannot, then there is no national government. Hard to rebuild a nuclear program without a national government to steal the wealth of the nation. So it devolves into a warlord state. Puts a damper on a lot of things. Would hate to be Europe or China, getting held up every time a tanker transits the strait.
Darn shame that is.
Now somewhat more problematic. Being able to go in and collect the uranium if there is no central authority to allow for safe conduct.

From GatewayPundit.
Employees at ESPN, a brand synonymous with sports broadcasting for nearly five decades, face an uncertain future.
According to John Ourand of Puck, an “unexpected revenue dip” will trigger imminent layoffs at ESPN.
“I can now confirm that another round [of layoffs] is approaching,” Ourand wrote.
In June 2023, ESPN announced that it had parted ways with NFL reporter Suzy Kolber, NFL draft analyst Todd McShay, and nearly two dozen other familiar faces.
Unlike its most recent purge, this time, the network will not slash on-air talent.
“I’m told the number will land near 30, with cuts expected in the coming weeks, primarily in off-camera departments,” Ourand added

Apparently a team of baboons were firing missiles at Israel, UAE, Saudi, and Iraq last night on Tousi TV. After a few hours of patience, Israel then sent air strikes to Tehran and other areas of Iran. My hope is they flattened Iran.

President Trump expressed optimism Wednesday that the Iran war cease-fire agreement will usher in a “Golden Age” in the Middle East. “A big day for World Peace!” Trump wrote on Truth Social following the two-week cease-fire announcement. “Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else!” The commander in chief said the US “will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz” and “loading up with supplies of all kinds, just ‘hangin’ around’ in order to make sure that everything goes well.” Trump indicated he felt “confident” the reopening of the key waterway, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes daily, would go well. “There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process,” he said. “Just like we are experiencing in the US, this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!”And so here we are weeks after the first bombs were dropped comment on the heels of the first wave of attacks that were designed to take out Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities.and collaterally hopefully take out the Mullahs and their evil regime and replace it with some minimally benign government that would no longer export global terrorism and persecute its own citizenry. while Iran's nuclear and missile capacities have surely been degraded, considering that the same Armageddon-seeking Islamic ideologues are still in power and that they are whom we via their Islamic brothers in arms in Pakistan are who have been negotiating with and that Pakistan is a close ally of Red China, Can President Trump truly declare not only"Mission Accomplished" but that a new golden age is about to be ushered into the Middle East?! Mr. President with all due respect that's not going to happen until Islam itself disappears either via a mass cultural shift among its over one billion adherents or some black swan event that brings about its utter defeat and dismantling and defanging.
Trump branded Operation Epic Fury a “total and complete victory” — more than a month after the first US strikes in a joint operation alongside Israeli forces on Feb. 28. “100 percent,” he told Agence France Presse. “No question about it.” Trump didn’t rule out strikes on power plants if the ceasefire collapsed.
“You’re going to have to see,” he said when probed.The exact terms of the cease-fire framework have not been released, but Trump described the proposal as “workable” and the temporary pause has been welcomed by Washington’s allies. Iran’s embassy in India has since claimed the US is “fundamentally committed” to lifting all sanctions against the Islamic Republic, accepting enrichment and agreeing to Tehran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.
“You started the war, but Iran will set the conditions for its end,” the embassy warned. .. This came after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif claimed the US, Iran and their allies agreed to a cease-fire everywhere, including Lebanon.. . “In accordance with directives from the political echelon, the IDF has ceased fire in the operation against Iran, and is highly
prepared to respond defensively against any violation,”
IDFofficials said Wednesday. “Overnight, the IDF conducted a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting missile launch sites and
launchers across Iran, in order to significantly degrade its
launching capabilities. “Simultaneously, in Lebanon, the IDF is continuing to conduct targeted
ground operations against Hezbollah... Hezbollah chiefs are set to release a statement outlining their position on the ceasefire...
At least the ceasefire brings a bit of positive news:
U.S. stock futures jumped higher and oil prices plunged after President Trump announced a two-week ceasefire and a potential longer peace deal with Iran on Tuesday night.Have a great day!
Futures indicated a two percent rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. S&P futures were up 2.3 percent and Nasdaq futures were up nearly three percent.
Oil prices fell sharply. Brent crude futures fell by around 13.5 percent to $94.50 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate futures dropped 14.7 percent to $96.40 a barrel. U.S. natural gas prices dropped by 3.6 percent. U.S. home heating oil futures dropped by more than 18 percent.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

They’ve been daring the United States to respond ever since, and Trump did respond. And that’s when the left completely lost it.

Look, it's the exportation of terror we need to concern ourselves about. As long as Iran has a large number of Muslims, they will produce large amounts of terror for domestic consumption. Nothing we can do about that short of permanent occupation.
But as long as they're just beating their wife inside the house and not setting fire to the neighbors' lawns, that's good enough.

At least this time, that friendly rebel force has done very little for us.
It would be one thing if they were rising up, taking up weapons, and shooting folks for us. But, at best, standing around and getting in the way and calling in locations isn't that much help, and certainly nothing public that gets them in any more danger than they probably already are.

Poor phrasing on Trump's part. But if it rattled the right people who took it literally he may have found an "out" for himself and the military. Only because those people knew it was possible.

Granted, the Iranian people are in a very, very bad situation. They don't want to live under the Islamic dictatorship that has brutalized, tortured and murdered them for 45 years. Yet they are defenseless to take on these maniacs by themselves. They don't have the weapons. The Islamic regime does. So in comes Trump to give them a glimmer of hope that their decades long nightmare might really be ending, only to seem like it's not the case. I feel for them. If Trump doesn't choose to, or can't, remove this evil gov't from that country, nobody can or will. They must know that.

Remove the entire Executive, most of the Legislative, and a chunk of the Judicial branch along with the intelligence apparatus - that's regime change.

MTG said Trump should be removed from office, but said she voted for Fuller. In case you weren't sure if she were a performative attention whore.
Republicans choosing the couch effect more than huge voter enthusiasm. Voter turnout wasn’t high here. Democrats are going to be fine with this year, but I’m not certain with 2028 because they’re in the same position Republicans were with 2010 and 2014.

So he brought along the pimp fist to pound Iran into the ground, kill as many as possible to get their attention and threatened to finish the job to negotiate.
Why? Probably oil prices. Hit the speculators as ace pointed out, Stock market. Get more munitions to the area. Give 'allies' a chance to show up in the strait. Arm the citizens. Who knows.
We all know this won't last. FoxNews showed Iran's list of demands. I'm not sure where they're getting all the dope from, but that must be some strong crap if they are in any way serious.

83 I don't think there could be true regime change in Iran without killing (or imprisoning?) several hundred thousand or even a million fundamentalists.”
I have believed that since the start, and wondered how we would proceed once it became clear. I’ve felt from the start this was much like facing the Third Reich in Spring of ‘45. And I support what Trump has done, I simply worry that as a society, not even those of us on the right have the nerve to do the amount of killing that has to be done.
We tell ourselves that all will change if we just take out a few at the top, but in reality at least a million need elimination, if not twice that.

But this? Who are we even talking to about this ceasefire? Are the other gulf states on board? Tolls for the straight? Ugh.
Good news is defacto control is through the US Navy when it comes to Europe and China etc. They know this. And the military capabilities of the IRGC are totally degraded on all levels. The Houthis have been silent as well. I get a bad feeling that Trump let off the gas to early. With external milities heading to Iran (to shore up depleted IRGC forces) and getting blown up in the process this may have been stopped a touch too early.
We shall see. But I am in the more hopeful side.
Of course Vallaha Special Forces guy on the YouTube tells me that Trump Chickened out and surrendered. Last night he said Trump is crazy for bombing and the whole thing is a bad move and war crimes etc etc. looks like he got the memo to pivot. Know the op when you see it.

It was beautiful. But it got in the way. Suspending it from the ceiling would have been a good idea- but then I could not play with it.

No control, screaming at the driver. Passenger gets out. He has the body language of someone approaching a rabid dog- but a small one. Talks quietly (at least he does, no aggressive body language, but she keeps amping up) walks away and she tries the patented right hook from the cheap seats (why do women do this?) Turns back around. Punch. Body slam. Gets back in car.

Well… I got in the comments late today so that was me posting off the top of my head. I had an initial strong negative reaction to the ceasefire mainly because of the Iranian response (which was belligerent… they didn’t have the tone of a defeated foe). Also, I have no idea if Iran still gets to charge tolls on ships moving through the strait… if they do, that’s not good. This war shouldn’t end with Iran controlling the strait IMHO

@bennyjohnson
The past 4 weeks were an IQ test for your favorite podcasters and pundits.
- Did they throw a temper tantrum?
- Did they say: ‘MAGA is Dead’
- Did they tell you to vote Democrat?
- Did they actively root against the US?
- Did they call for Trump’s impeachment
- Did they act like *they* were elected President?!
So many humiliating crash outs.
Our movement needs strength and clarity — not unhinged emotional hysteria.
You can disagree with the President at times, and still handle it like an adult.
Careful who your heroes are.

This also gives the US and Israel a bit of time to get more drones in the area and fight this more economically. Also we can arm the non-treaty cou tries so they can defend infrastructure and maybe even attack.
Also, other oil producing countries can start ramping up oil production to minimize the impact of rounds 2 through 56. Ughh.

The silver speculators have been hammered too by Comex after silver rocketed to $110 an ounce or so. Margin requirements were raised several times - likely to help banks. Comex deliverable silver is at near historic lows. China has controls on exporting silver. The world has been in deficit for 6 years.

Some time back, someone - I don't recall who - posted a graph showing that the price line of something at McDonalds - Big Mac, I think - perfectly followed the minimum wage.
But politicians will continue raising the minimum wage because:
- people who make the minimum wage want more and don't understand how money works.
- certain unions get paid a multiple of the minimum wage so raising the one raises their pay without having to admit that it's happening.

Of course he grew up in Da Swamp, as I did, and has never really lived anywhere without high humidity, so he's used to it. But he says the west coast of FL, in the years he's been there, has never yet had a close brush or strike by a hurricane.

At one point I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming it never worked anywhere and they refused to accept it. Therefore I thought it was a mental problem. I mean some kind of block that doesn't even let them see the numbers. They are enemies of numbers. They hate numbers. I don't know if lefties hate water or numbers more. I mean I don't know if they hate bathing more than numbers. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, unequal treatment before the law. They are very violent and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence. Lefties always, let's say,
resort to physical violence and all kinds of violent manifestations because they are unable to refute the arguments. First off, that's absolutely hilarious.

I think everyone, including me, has been very misled about the degree of popular opposition to the regime, because we hear only regime, opposition, and diaspora voices.
I see nothing to suggest a critical mass necessary for action beyond street protests.
Even with all the headwinds, we should have seen something by now.
I'm guessing that there's a sizable minority who want the regime gone, a sizable one who loves it sexually, and a plurality who, in good Muslim fashion, mutter "Inshallah," shrug their shoulders, and quietly back the strong horse in their particular barn.

Maybe. But since the bombing started Trump and Netanyahu have been telling Iranian citizens to stay inside and wait until the bombing campaign stopped so they didn't get blown up.
Now there's at least a pause and so many hot takes are being proven wrong. I think it's a bit too soon to say what a people who have been subjugated, tortured and murdered for 50 years will do when given a real chance.

As someone who tracks this kind of thing, Trump hate is another level. I don't know how much is about him specifically, and how much is the general radicalization of the Left, but the rabid Left's hate of Trump is not the same as against Bush or Reagan.

This whole place is sinking. The rare ridges have good street paving, but the main streets and the side streets all crack and split and sink not long after they get paved -- if they do.
That said, the new mayor here is actually moving to take care of some things. There was a major waterline break on an uptown avenue in February. Last Friday I drove that way and was amazed; you'd never know where it happened, and the street was so nicely surfaced my car pranced like a show horse.

War Crimes and Trump; the US political and international circus returns.
👉United Nations Post
19h
Even wars have rules.
Attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure violate international humanitarian law.
No matter where they occur, they are unacceptable, unjustifiable, and must stop immediately.
Civilians are not a target.
Q - But public hangings and torture of oppositional civilians, including teenagers, in Iran is not?
Crickets.
Q - The use of cluster bombs by Iran on Israel and other countries?
Reportedly, "the United Nations has consistently and strongly spoken out against the use of cluster bombs (cluster munitions), advocating for their prohibition due to the indiscriminate harm they cause to civilians. The UN supports the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), an international treaty that bans the use, production, transfer, and stockpiling of these weapons.
Q - So against civilian population but not a war crime for Iran? But it has been a war crime for other countries so the snag is needing some specific person to name as 'the' criminal? 🤔 So confusing. Conveniently so.

United Nations Human Rights, Office of High Commissioner
United States: UN experts strongly condemn US Capitol attack, 18 January 2021
On January 18, 2021, 23 independent UN experts condemned the Capitol attack as an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. They urged the US government to ensure that all subsequent arrests and detention of protestors adhered to international human rights standards and due process.
Did they? 🙈🙉🙊 ^
By September 2021, organizations including Look Ahead America and Citizens Against Political Persecution (CAPP) filed complaints regarding the treatment of inmates jailed in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest, often referring to them as "political prisoners."
These groups and legal counsel for detainees raised several allegations regarding conditions at the D.C. Central Detention Facility (D.C. Jail).
In October 2021, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth held D.C. Jail officials in contempt of court, finding that they had violated the civil rights of at least one Jan. 6th defendant by delaying medical care. A U.S. Marshals Service inspection later revealed "squalid" conditions.

'Violence roiling Nigeria extends beyond religious lines, amid a deepening humanitarian crisis'
29 January 2026, Peace and Security
"What was once a localized insurgency has morphed into something broader and more diffuse."
"In Nigeria’s northwest – in states such as Zamfara, Katsina and Sokoto – armed criminal groups have seized control of rural areas, carrying out mass kidnappings and extortion, a phenomenon authorities describe as banditry."
But it's: "A test for Africa’s largest economy
Nigeria’s predicament exposes a stark paradox: one of Africa’s largest economies confronting a humanitarian crisis more often associated with far poorer states.
“Nigeria is not Sudan. It is not Somalia. It is not South Sudan,” Mr. Fall said. “This is a country with resources. The primary responsibility for responding to humanitarian needs lies with the government.”

Their obsessions with the low side of 30/70 issues had especially alienated Democrats from white middle- and working-class voters. Yet middle-class whites still comprise about 40–50 percent of the population and are perhaps overrepresented in voter turnout.
Democrats realize that their fixations on biological males competing in women’s sports, open borders and millions of illegal entries, radical green agendas, DEI-driven racial essentialism, and massive government entitlements rife with fraud have alienated the middle classes in general and white middle- and working-class voters in particular.
===============
Their solution is "more Spanberger". If voters don't like Democrat policies it's the voters who are wrong. So, don't change policies, just lie to get elected and then revert to radical marxism.

I'm trailing by 4 years (as of last Friday), so if you can do it, maybe I can as well.
No offense, but I'm not holding my breath for either of us; I wouldn't mind being proven wrong for either of our cases.

All warfare isn't zero-sum. Genocidal warfare is zero-sum, unless you're that idiot Mahatma Gandhi who was supposedly OK with self-annihilation; he could have gotten a win-win with the Nazis.
Oh, after some research, Gandhi appears to have opined that the Jews should have done freely offered their necks for slaughter but somehow thought that "would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor."

In my experience it's always with fast safer than asking ALie the same question phrased 3-4 different ways, getting 3-4 different "answers," and averaging them into something you hope approximates the "truth."
One thing that helps with Google ALie Mode is having background knowledge of your own - frequently, the lies are so off the wall, over the top stupid that you can immediately weed out the "answer."
But even people just a touch younger than me have little knowledge of anything because they were already relying on Google to handle about 80% of their cognition before AI came along.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - April 7, 2026 [Doof]
From Monica
How much do you spend to look your best? Probably not as much as this lady! Ivy League alum turned PR boss explains why she spends [$12K] per year on hair, nails, Botox
An Ivy League graduate and the owner of a PR firm revealed why she spends $12,000 (over ₹11 lakh) a year on beauty treatments and clothes, especially after moving from New York to Utah. In a conversation with Business Insider, she revealed that she undergoes the pricey procedures to keep up with beauty standards. “Utah has a slower pace, less diversity, and a more conservative culture, but one of the biggest challenges is the pressure to maintain a youthful, fresh appearance. Even though NYC is very focused on appearance, it's not as bad as Utah,” Hilary Reiter Azzaretti told the outlet, adding that she felt Utah was very “beauty-centric and that a lot of people here cared about longevity, wellness, and appearance.” *** She explained, “Half the pressure is self-induced. Outsiders might perceive younger PR people as more on top of trends, especially with social media. That's not always true, since PR is a relationship-driven business, but because it feels that way, trying to hide your age soothes your ego,” adding, “The other half comes from what you see on the job. There are a lot of influencers in Utah, so I'm inundated with images of beautiful people every day. It feels inevitable that you'll place greater emphasis on your appearance based on what you're seeing.”I used the link above because the one I wanted to use requires registration.
Your call if you want to do so.
----- This lady takes a different approach. Dutch Politician Expelled from Her Party for Editing Her Publicity Photo Too Much
A Dutch city councillor has been kicked out of her political party after editing her publicity photo so heavily that she became unrecognisable. Looking at her publicity photo, you’d be tempted to think that Patricia Reichman is the youngest-looking 59-year-old woman in the world. We’ve featured our share of “ladies of eternal youth” on Oddity Central over the years, but Reichman definitely takes the cake. Only, in reality, she looks very different; some would say she is a totally different person. *** The Dutch councilwoman faced a lot of criticism after photos of her next to the one she obviously edited went viral online, but she continued claiming that she genuinely looks a lot younger than 59. “When I’m out and about with my son, people often assume I’m his girlfriend,” she said. “I hear it all the time, that I look remarkably young for my age.”So you're telling me there are fake photos of people online? As Ace sometimes says, I shan't believe it. I shannot. ----- Happy Anniversary to The Bad News Bears!
The Bad News Bears turns 50 today.

This movie zigged where most kid-sports films zag: cynical, un-Disneyfied, a gritty 1970s antidote to the usual underdog uplift. And Walter Matthau never once feels like he’s “acting with kids.” pic.twitter.com/lE8wmga6VY
When a Southern client trash-talks Western hunting to his Wyoming antelope guide, all hell breaks loose The story, “The Sheriff’s Pronghorn,” originally ran in the April 1953 issue of Outdoor Life.Long story, but a really good one. Check it out! ----- OK, maybe AI isn't asshoe. At least for the first 22 seconds!
“There’s one reason, mister,” the Georgia sheriff said stoutly, “why I don’t like your Wyoming country.” Max Wilde bristled like a stallion in a brush corral. “And what’s that?” he barked. “Everything’s too easy. You get on a horse, ride for a day, camp, walk out to the edge of a grassy park, and bang! You’ve got an elk. Or you sit for a couple of afternoons over a rotten carcass of some kind until a grizzly walks out of the shadows. You put your sights on his neck and squeeze off the trigger. Blooie! He folds. These buck deer tiptoe right up to you and chew the buttons off your coat. Antelope? I’d just as soon shoot a yearling calf in the feed lot.” I glanced at Max. His mouth was twisted into an ominous angle. “It ain’t as exciting as a quail hunt clown in Georgia, is it?” he asked mildly. “Not by a damsite!” Sheriff Henry Mosely said flatly. *** The sheriff finished his stirrup adjustments and we followed Max at a fast walk through the sage and along the rim of a canyon. At the head of the mesa, where it broke abruptly into a ragged, rocky point, we flushed a herd of six antelope. They ran for a startled moment, then stopped to look back. Five were does, with nervous legs and huge ears alerted toward us. The sixth was a buck with sweeping horns that branched above his eyes and curved back on slender tips. Max studied them for a moment through his glasses. *** The sheriff was an old hand now. He boiled out of the saddle, pulling his gun as he went. He seated his shell in the chamber and swung on the running buck. He held his fire so long that I got a little panicky, thinking he had frozen at the controls. I was so tight that I jumped when the rifle barked. The flying buck went end over end, sprawled in the sage, made a feeble attempt to rise and went down again, shot behind the heart. For a moment the sheriff looked as though he did not believe it himself, then he whooped and threw his hat into the air. Mine went with it. Max just grinned.

Indian counting lesson: a "lakh" is 100,000. Or, as they write it, 1,00,000. So $12000 is 1.1 million rupees.
Next up is a "crore," 10,000,000. Or 1,00,00,000.

$1000 a month for hair, nails, Botox, and clothes isn't that much.
Mani/pedi easily $200
Haircut $100+ easily plus products another $100
Botox easily another $100-$200
Makeup is expensive
And you can easily spend $1000 a month just on clothes, shoes, not to mention a single purse could easily top that.
I see it all the time. I personally don't spend close to that but I know lots who do.

Who recalls the other prime-time cartoon series that followed in its wake? The Alvin Show with the Chipmunks on CBS, The Bugs Bunny Cartoon Hour on ABC ("Overture -- dim the lights; this is it, we'll hit the heights . . ."), and Top Cat -- I think that was an NBC show.

I'm so perfect I'm going to bed early tonight.
On the Rich Girl song...my husband initially thought I was a wealthy girl with a father having a yuge ranch. Because when running short of $ I'd call him and ask him to sell "one of my cows." I had two out of his herd of 200+. I also did not know they only had one calf per year to sell. My father, on the other end of the phone, would simply send money vs explaining it to me. A 200 acre farm is not land baron style ranching, more of a hobby farm.
He did not marry me for my money, nor did I marry him for his. We were po' white folk starting out. And glad of it.
I never asked my parents for a dime after I graduated college or we married. Which explains why my father was so thrilled to marry me off. Surprised I did not come with a dowry! Here! Take her!!!Thanks!

Famously played Alice Kramden on The Honeymooners. The Flinstones were pretty much a knock-off of the Honeymooners. Jackie Gleason got mad and wanted to sue Hanna-Barberra over it.
His lawyers talked him out. They said, Jackie, you probably won't win, but you might, and if you do, do you want to be remembered as the guy who took Fred Flintstone off the air?

A couple of my favorite of those eclipse shots. First:
https://is.gd/BseoBB
Download it to get the full resolution. See that big bright dot just above the spacecraft to the upper left? That's Venus. Follow a line diagonally through the Moon to the lower right. That's roughly the ecliptic. The two brighter dots along the line in the lower right corner are Saturn, and then Mars.

That's looking more to the right from the first picture. You can see Mercury to the far lower right, all line along the ecliptic with Saturn and Mars. Yep, Saturn and Mars are closer to the Sun (angle wise, of course) than Mercury right now.
Neptune is in there too, between Saturn and Mars, but's far too dim at those camera settings to show up.

Like nurse, my first vote was for Reagan in '84. As a NYC'er in my yout, I ended up voting for both Ed Koch and David Dinkins (over Giuliani). I thought that it was about time for a black man to become mayor of NYC, and Dinkins was Manhattan Borough President, so I thought he would know how to run the city. Boy was I wrong.
Never voted for a Dem after that. Good thing too, because I could see a grifter like Obama from a mile away at that point.

Aside from a couple of "what do you think? Leave a comment" interruptions, it was pretty thorough and up-to-date with everything I know at least, from Segundo Pia's groundbreaking photography to the 3-D computer analysis, the "debunking" based on a piece of the repairs not the original cloth, to the pollen and blood and scourgemarks validations.
One bit I hadn't known. Scientists determined that the image method was able to be duplicated, on a very small scale. To create the image on the Shroud, though, would take "a simultaneous energy pulse of 34 trillion watts lasting less than a billionth of a second." Whoa!
The meaning of Jesus' raising, physical body or what, is of course a long running debate with theological implications. The method by which the Shroud image could be formed likewise.

However, after Mary and Peter and John had seen the burial cloths lying there undisturbed, the captain of the temple guards was sent to the tomb, "to remove the grave cloths. The captain wrapped them all up in the linen sheet and threw them over a near-by cliff."
If the Shroud is authentic, SOMEone found the bundle at the bottom of the cliff.

Trump:CNN is a fraud, reporting 10pts from Nigeria
Somehow Iraq is now involved with burning buildings. Yemen also launching towards Israel, the Houthi (who I always think have lisps) failed but they are involved.
Iran is hiding tanks, etc in children's amusement parks. They are coming out of hiding apparently with this "cease fire."
Maybe Trump is letting the ME finish them off?

I can't imagine getting through World War II with Trump at the helm -- sending truthsocials and announcing deals, victories, threats to end civilization, etc. to Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin.

The last time I encountered a large group of pronghorn, they were feeling frisky and decided to race me down the highway at about 50-55 miles per hour. I kept my distance because I understand their disposition.
But I wondered about the tourists driving behind me. Once I passed by the herd, I no longer saw the tourists in my mirror. Chances are they hit one doing 75 mph and totaled their vehicle.

Israel, with Gaza, avoided the tremendous danger of ceasefires with opponents who extermination is the minimum serious objective - that you can't start the party up again. Bibi did, several times. This of course only applies to western countries, and especially the US in its current unserious incarnation.
With Trump I'm not very concerned about it. I am assuming his comical statements about offing the first string of Iranian "leadership" constituting "regime change" are pure chin music, aimed at a mysterious audience.

CHILE SIDES WITH ARGENTINA ON THE FALKLANDS
Chile has officially declared its support for Argentina’s claim over the Falkland Islands.
This came in a joint statement after a meeting between the two countries’ leaders.
The Falklands are British territory - defended with British blood in 1982.
Now more countries are openly testing us because they sense weakness in London.
Britain must make it crystal clear:
The Falklands are ours and will remain ours forever.

Chile and Argentina linking up like that is pretty amazing. For those unfamiliar, as in many parts of the world, those two similar countries with not much in the way of real disputes have been pointlessly mutually hostile forever. Beagle Channel dispute - I lost track of whether it was already settled.
But not impressed with Mr Chainsaw, if he's pushing this. Pointless distraction when the herculean task of rescuing Argentina from its decades of torpor has barely begun.

Milei should offer the people of the Falklands a deal: become a protectorate of Argentina, since Britain has fallen to the muslim hordes, and can no longer protect the Falklanders. Argentina will preserve inshore fishing rights for the Falklanders; offshore will be Argentina's exclusive zone, where Falklanders may also fish. No muslims permitted to settle in Falklands, and English will continue as the official language there, but have Spanish taught as a second language.

I reading up on photography, after getting on that tangent reading some discussion about Apollo vs Artemis. Artemis is all digital. Apollo was all film. Don't know much about it, other than film has its pluses and minuses and digital the same.
The cameras they're using on Artemis are Nikons, about 10 year old models (tried and well-tested -- you do NOT take something new fangled into space without extensive testing). They can do things with those cameras that would be impossible with Apollo film.
Yet, as far as resolution goes, the Apollo film has it beat. I swear, the Apollo color photos do just sort of look better somehow, and was reading the arguments back and forth about this.

I saw one across the street from him laying on the woman's lawn by the curb, she comes home and goes to pull into her driveway and the deer gets up and moves a little as if to say yeah she's old, don't want to get run over here. As soon as she parked the car the deer goes an lays back down and just watches her get out of the car. We had 15 of them wandering around the grounds of the shop I work out of.

I really hope thats what he's doing. Sometimes I wonder if he gets off more on making deals and gets blinded by it. There is no reason in the planet of hell that any deal needs to be made with those murdering knuckle draggers, just erase them from the fucking planet. I would hope he just wants 2 weeks to get us resupplied and our planes and equipment serviced and then get back to kicking their dicks in the dirt.

Missiles launched from Iran were seen over Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and the West Bank and intercepted by Israeli defence systems in the early hours of Wednesday, April 8.
The attacks came just hours after US President Donald Trump announced a two‑week ceasefire agreement with Iran, aimed at easing tensions following weeks of escalation triggered by US‑Israeli strikes on Iranian targets

U.S. President Donald J. Trump calls Wednesday a “big day for World Peace!”, following tonight’s announced two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran.
Trump states that the United States will assist with the buildup of ships in the Strait of Hormuz and that reconstruction can begin in Iran.
The President adds that, “We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just ‘hangin' around’ in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!”

109 I actually got a whole meat arsenal. First was the KitchenAid tenderizer, and I also got one of those cast iron smash burger squishers.
Posted by: banana Dream at April 07, 2026 06:53 PM (3uBP9)
I had this one tenderizer I really loved for grilling or baking cuts of meat, with razor-sharp blades stood up in a row on a spring-loaded brace. You grab the handle, and the blades are not exposed; you push it into the meat, and the brace compresses while the blades continue on to pierce. Wham wham wham wham! Then marinate, and it soaks in deeply.
The problem was, with the plastic case and fiddly bits, unfixable breakage was inevitable. It was a very disposable tool, and the more such I outlast, the more I would rather get durable ones. So I never replaced it.

The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows.
The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a "legitimate" headline.
The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player?
CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible "reporting." Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.

Once I was out walking our dogs and the crazy one started attacking a yellow jacket nest in the ground. Before I could react I had a mess of the little f'ers attacking me and both dogs. Once I got away and the bugs killed, yes they followed us back home, we called the vet and asked what to do about their stings. They both got stung a bunch. The vet said to give them Benadryl which I did.
They got totally hopped up on goofballs. One just sat in front of a wall staring at it for two hours. If it could talk it would have been saying, "oh wow man, do you see that? Oh wow. Oh wow...."

Rearm? With what? I assume they'll have difficulty getting Chinese or Russian equipment in, they have major financial shortfalls, and their national industry has been impacted. 2 weeks isn't very long, and what could they possibly obtain that would be an issue for us?

We already have hand-sized wasps called "tarantula hawks." What's a thumb-sized hornet compared to those?
Tarantula hawks also have one of the most painful poisons known, based on that psycho who intentionally got stung by everything to rate them. He thought a couple kinds of ants were worse.

I'm very allergic. They and their children and grandchildren know where the picnic tables are and never forget.
Long story with much drama I won't get into, but one flew up my maxi sundress the afternoon Princess Diana died. I was supposed to be supervising our son in the garage using a table saw. I was there but drinking wine and reading a magazine.
When I screeched into the house his father thought son had cut off a finger, but it was just me running down the hall asking for Benadryl, baking soda, vinegar and meat tenderizer...stat. From one bite I had a huge bite, bigger than my hand. Painful. Had the tv on at midnight when she had the car crash.
Woke my husband to tell him she died and he said,"Well, that's sad but I really don't care."

Trump Accepts Deal for Two Week Ceasefire, Saying Sides Are Very Close to a Permanent Deal
Ach.
Sorry I had to get out and do the sanding and varnishing before I lost the light.
Clay TravisIran began launching drones and missiles at both UAE and Israel. Israel, of course, is permitted to fire back. So is UAE. Tuq'r will find that "disgusting, actually," and will also attack Trump for abusing the poor oil traders.
@ClayTravis 1h Trump and Iran agree to a two week ceasefire subject to the Strait of Hormuz being immediately opened. The price of oil and gas is plummeting. Yet again all the people losing their minds on Twitter today saying nuclear war was going to happen look like complete morons.

It's his cope for explaining why Republicans are still evil and antisemtic even though they're Israel's allies and his filthy degenerate race communist party or its enemies.

It's an incoherent, inaccurate perversion of dispensationalism, which manages to get all the key parts exactly wrong.
In short, it's what a very stupid, ignorant person wants to think Bad People believe in. People who they also believe are far, far less intelligent than they are, yet those same people can accurately tell you exactly what the people who look down on them believe in.

One can hope for the best, but this certainly looks like a win for the islamic republic.
Remember that we started this particular campaign. They were content at the time to quietly build their missiles and advance their nuclear research. Because we started the fight their primary goal was to survive, which they have. The particular people are now younger, and have been promoted early, but the regime itself is the same.
Second, their particular approach to the war, attack civilian infrastructure in any country they can reach, and traffic in Hormuz, until pressure was put on Trump to call of the fighting, clearly succeeded. So they accomplished both their general and specific goals for the campaign.
We on the other hand are apparently getting a player to be named later. in #twoweeks. But we should celebrate because the TV tells us the fighting is over, or something.

But your basic complaint, that we didn't achieve regime change in Iran (I assume that's where you are going), is true and I don't disagree. In the end, though, I have assumed the Persian people will decide who rules. Unless the regime still retains terroristic powers against hte population, that is.

Trying to save launchers.
They can pop out and launch one. They run back to their hidey hole before position can be fixed. Rather like a sniper that pops off one shot and fades back. Really hard to pin down.

We've shattered their c2, so they have units without commanders, broken chains of command, and lots of isolated units told to fire until they run out of ammo.

The officer class is still Ivy League and mostly NorthEast or cultivated from private academies. Very much elite.

This is a weakness in our system. The mullah's know they just have to wait us out and a new president, preferably (for them) a democrat, replaces Trump and everything goes back the way it was.
I think it would help immensely if a few dems came out and said they would continue the Trump doctrine if they retake the Presidency in 2028.
Fat chance that will happen. More likely the flow of pallets of cash and gutless appeasement will resume.

Yeah, and they just had to kill thousands to maintain their tenuous hold on power. The people don't want to join them.
Seems kind of a limiting factor on their long-term odds of success. The Iranian people don't have to rise up, just keep dropping Google Map markers where all their overlords are living via Starlink.
I bet a LOT of Starlink will be coming in during the lull. Need MOAR targeting data.

airdrop pallets of guns grenades and radios. fill the country with weapons. Give the civilians the weapons with which to drive out their satanic occupiers.

I just wanna say... if you airdropped pallets of guns grenades and radios in my neighborhood, people would pick up the guns, check to see if they were loaded by peering down the barrel and pulling the trigger, and the survivors would figure they'd better get rid of the grenades, so they'd "unscrew" them and run water on them, then the remaining survivors would throw the radios in the trash since they don't pull in the local AM station.

One can hope for the best, but this certainly looks like a win for the islamic republic.
Remember that we started this particular campaign. They were content at the time to quietly build their missiles and advance their nuclear research. Because we started the fight their primary goal was to survive, which they have. The particular people are now younger, and have been promoted early, but the regime itself is the same.
Second, their particular approach to the war, attack civilian infrastructure in any country they can reach, and traffic in Hormuz, until pressure was put on Trump to call of the fighting, clearly succeeded. So they accomplished both their general and specific goals for the campaign.
We on the other hand are apparently getting a player to be named later. in #twoweeks. But we should celebrate because the TV tells us the fighting is over, or something.

The regular army was one of the most important factors that lost Iran for the Shah in 1978/79. I don't think his loyal units were anything like the IRGC, but they still held things together until regular military units started firing on them.

Why?
Iran's nuclear program, economy, military, government, and international terror apparatus have just been severely degraded. This country is now a basket case.
It will take them years to recover the status quo ante, and we can prevent that at a time of our choosing.
More importantly, regime change is not within our capabilities. It would require a lengthy ground war, and there is zero political will for it.
The threat to us, such as it was, has been neutralized for the time being. I don't care what happens to Iranian people, and they'd never go to war for us. That's their business. This ain't a charity. Time to wrap it up.

But sure, they'll just get Amazon to fedex a complete replacement set in by next Wednesday.
Trump knows more than everyone here combined. He tweets stuff knowing what he was going to do. Do people understand that? He tweeted the dire threat but already has the ceasefire statement written.
Why do people assume that everything is so random? Or that only Trump is random, but everyone else is an MKUltra DeepState Zionist Conspiracy planned out centuries in advance?

I don't think Trump was bluffing about the 8 pm deadline. Iran didn't seem to think he was bluffing. And if Trump thinks they violate the cease fire I believe he will level them.

Judy Gold shocked by ‘brazen’ antisemitism during two NYC shows this weekend
By Nicki Gostin
Published April 7, 2026, 6:15 p.m. ET
82 Comments
A veteran New York standup tells Page Six she’s “shocked [by] how brazen” antisemites have become at the city’s comedy clubs.
Judy Gold was left “stunned” when she encountered Jew-hating hecklers at two different comedy clubs over the weekend.
Gold, 63, was performing at the New York Comedy Club on Friday night when a vile audience member shouted “You’re a Jew”
===========================

Sigh.
But they were beavering around frantically after Operation Hammer last year, digging out the bombed sites, and working overtime to repair/recover. My point was simply that they will be bending every sinew to rearm.
I'm hoping like hell the Iranian resistance will see that this is their best change to crowbar the bastards out of the driver's seat, kill as many of them as possible, and take their country back. But we'll see.

This plus a whole lot more. We need beaucoup drones. I don't know if the pentagon failed to send military observers to the Russia-Ukraine war but we used to do that kind of thing to learn about technology, strategy and tactics in foreign wars. Iran taught Russia about drones and supplied the technology. Russia combined it with EW which they have traditionally been strong in.
Israel needs to be resupplied with missile interceptors. So do the Gulf allies. So do we. We way underestimated Iranian capabilities with drones and missiles.
Pakistan says Iran claims to still have 15,000 missiles and 45,000 drones. An exaggeration, surely, but they still have a lot. We simply don't have the MOPs to take out all 27 underground "missile cities" each has multiple entrances.
And a coalition to effect regime change. Deride GHW Bush all you want, he knew how to build a coalition. Bush jr was not bad either.

The Hezbollah issue has be resolved, and completely (meaning Hezb is destroyed), this time. Israel will not accept living under near-constant attack, or having Iran's (dulled and degraded) dagger at their neck any longer.

Has Iran's position improved or weakened since before the war?

Wars are rarely complete and total victories. Even at this point for Iran the best might that be said for them was that they weren't annihilated.
Would we feel like winners if we got most of our stuff and leadership blown up and the enemy walked away because they decided a land invasion wasn't worth it?

Two weeks is not enough time to bring in much of anything unless you are doing major airlift stuff, which no one but the US can do.
What this does do is lower the temperature and let the US refresh its forces. Our guys have been working hard. ISR will map out what Iran is doing, so we can learn about new targeting opportunities.
And of course Iran can break the ceasefire. It's expected, and then all the "illegal war of aggression" people will have to come up with another excuse.

The bidding is anticipatory(though some of it relates to physical delivery on contracts and expiration dates) and causes production and consumption to expand or contract faster than an environment where stockpiles deplete to zero first.

Cool. Not our victory condition, though.
See, it's possible for asymmetrical victory conditions. We just wan Iran neutered for a few years. Maybe President Vance can deliver the final blow. Or President Rubio, but the important part is to wreck Iran for the next few years.
And that has been achieved. So, by definition, a win.
If you define victory by your enemy's conditions, they can keep changing them, and then you always lose. We don't do that anymore.
I'm going to look forward to Dems screaming that we need to keep fighting because we lost, and then when Trump orders the bombers to crank back up, they scream war crimes again.

It's what Trump has been demanding including his Tweet Heard Round Social Media. Open the Strait.
He's already said our military objectives have been met. Taking out their power plants and bridges was the threat to open the Strait. If the Strait is open at the time the deal states then the deal is off.
I've said it before I don't think Trump enjoys doing anymore destruction than he has to to achieve his goals. But I do believe he will level the place if the Iranians choose death.

I'm not an expert. I may know exactly 1 of the reported 10 points of the ceasefire. I don't know if the ceasefire is supposed to start at a specific time or based on a specific set of conditions. I haven't seen anyone reporting any of those things but lots of people are telling us...
- that the ceasefire has been broken (although we don't know if it ever actually started)
- it happened because Trump wanted to do x, or y, or z.
- it's the stupidest thing ever and we've totally betrayed the Iranian people.
Feel free to make fun of me but don't think that I'm pretending to be an expert about anything related to the conflict.

It is.
Until such time as we effect a fundamental change of circumstances in the US, we can't win a protracted foreign war. It's a non-starter.
This operation was devastating. It's the best we could have hoped for.

Israel can fire back at the turbans, and the cease fire is only with us? Israel and the others can bomb them some more? Which is fine with me as I figure eventually the barbarians will run out of missiles from chy na and Russia.
Isn't it bad enough that I found out koalas have chlamydia this week? And what that's done to what is left of my brain? Now this! Who let homos do this to innocent koalas?
I am confused about the cease fire and the stupid news says nothing. Therefore I rely on you...which I know is a sad state to admit.

If you strike at the King, you have to kill him.
You can't do what Trump just did to the Iranian regime and just leave them alone, with the surviving younger, more brutal and more radical cohorts like Vahidi and Ghalibaf in charge and plotting revenge on the US and Israel.
Terrorism against us and our allies is guaranteed in that case.
Trump choosing the course of action he did meant the regime has to go whether he realized it or not and the uranium needs to taken and the ballistic technology removed.

See, it's possible for asymmetrical victory conditions. We just wan Iran neutered for a few years. Maybe President Vance can deliver the final blow. Or President Rubio, but the important part is to wreck Iran for the next few years.
-
Yes, two opposing sides in a conflict don't necessarily have directly opposing goals. Which is what I was trying to explain to other posters upthread.
The problem with the approach you're suggesting is it's what Israel has been doing with the terrorist groups aimed at it, at least until very recently, which results in always having to come back and kick over the anthill again in a few years' time. It doesn't actually solve the problem, and gives people an excuse to think of it as a long term 'cycle of violence.'
I'd rather solve the problem once and for all and then move on to other problems.

I am not surprised. This war has been poorly covered and the weaknesses of social media along with the slop from main stream media means no one is really certain about anything.
Easier to just follow what Trump and Rubio say and not worry about the small stuff right now. It will keep until we find out. Worrying about it simply won't matter one way or another.
Just glad that our guys in the field are able to take a rest as they have done an incredible op tempo over the last month +. Easy enough to resume after a break if necessary (and judging by the Iranian track record, very possible on that).

Current margin in 15 pts and possible it will go up. MTG running in 2024 against Harris won by 29 percent in 2024. Harris overperformed in a GOP district.
Current count of the House now is going to be 218 GOP--1 independent who caucuses with GOP (219), 214 Dem--two vacancies--one Dem, one GOP. The election to fill Sherrill's seat is in two weeks and the one to fill Doug Amalfa-GOP-CA is in August I think.

You can say many things about Trump but he is not a Bush in temperament.
FWIW, The Bush Sr decision was in part because he had a disparate international coalition opposed to toppling Saddam and the Saudis nor Kuwaitis did not want a Shia majority to rule in Iraq for obvious reason.
Trump has much less of a coalition problem by simply not inviting them to the dance.

He's done that since January.
There doesn't seem to be any will for this - among the Army or the general population.
This was apparently wishcasting, or bad intel.
I know. I know. They're unarmed and disorganized. Blah blah. If there were any widespread desire for a rising, we'd have seen *something* by now, even if it were feeble.
My suspicion is this: there are a lot of Iranians who'd like to see the regime gone, they are educated people, and the ones we see online all the time... but it's a far, far smaller proportion than the diaspora Iranians believe, or at least would have us believe, and they know if they make a move, their own countrymen will help the regime destroy them.
Just my suspicion. But I think we've been very misled about popular sentiment there. And I think that "we" includes Trump and Hegseth.

China gets a huge percentage of their oil from Iran, by far Iran's biggest customer. China also used to be Venezuela's biggest customer.
China probably isn't too happy about Iran being at war with us and getting the shit kicked out of them. Their economy is already taking it in the neck, largely thanks to sanctions.
Trump spent a good part of his press conference yesterday punking on the media for saying he didn't have a plan. He has one.

Yes.
In a country of 90m+ people.
By contrast, in 1989, the people of Romania were unarmed and disorganized and the regime at least appeared much stronger from the outside than Iran does right now, and there was no foreign intervention to lend the assist.
Romanians flooded the cities with angry mobs from Timisoara to Bucharest from a much more disadvantaged position. Because there was a popular desire everywhere to be rid of Ceauses u.

Quick Hits
ChristianThat post here, linking another post containing the list of Labour MPs and councilmen who have raped or abused women.
@decorativeartt One moment of perfect clarity can be devastating. Orla Minihane has just exposed a number that should end any pretence: Seventy-nine. Seventy-nine Labour MPs and councillors with convictions or formal findings for rape, sexual assault, grooming, child sexual exploitation, possession and distribution of child pornography, and other vile sexual misconduct. Not a handful of bad apples.
Not unfortunate mistakes. This is a pattern.
This is a culture. While Labour lectures the nation about protecting women and girls, they have quietly built one of the most predator-friendly environments in British politics. The question is no longer how these men kept slipping in. The question is why Labour feels like home to them. A rotten ecosystem, thriving in plain sight. Britain First. No Surrender.
Tim Soret
@timsoret As a European, I apologize to Americans for all the idiocy coming from our side. You save your pilots no matter the cost.
You send humans to the moon.
You fight authoritarianism head-on.
It's truly inspiring. We're on the wrong side of the moral equation.
Tim Soret
@timsoret Apr 5 Frankly I hope I can join your ranks one day. I'm done with the morally smug, economically illiterate, declinist mindset here. We think we're so cultured & so smart, but it's mostly masturbatory. Americans keep demonstrating their uniquely actionable & pragmatic intelligence.
Jim Acosta says that now that his every deranged claim about Trump is proven true (cite?), he feels that maybe he "wasn't opiniated enough" when he had a real job in the real media. No president should mock Islam, because they'll murder civilians if he does.
Mark Penn
@Mark_Penn War crimes? Senator Merkley from Oregon said that taking out mixed use infrastructure like bridges and power plants would be war crimes and suggested as well that soldiers in the US Army need not follow orders such as that. The Iranians have sent hundreds of missiles targeted at civilian centers in Tel Aviv and throughout Israel as well as towards hotels, plants and airports of UAE and other countries. The civilians are not collateral damage -- they are the primary target of hundreds and missiles and drones. And they massacred tens of thousands of their own people -- just machine gunned them down. By rulers who have no legitimacy whatsoever. So where is his outrage at the real war crimes? Where is the urgency at stopping Iran from these illegal attacks and mass executions? Where are his threats of action to right these wrongs? We know where they are -- no where because he is too busy attacking his own country.
Nigeria Christians experienced another bloody Easter. The country experienced three separate attacks on Christians on Sunday as Christians celebrated Jesus's resurrection. The Nigerian military announced it has rescued 31 civilians kidnapped on Sunday morning during an attack on a church:Remember, Tuq'r Qarlson says the Trump tried to "eradicate" Christianity by mounting a desperate now-or-never rescue operation to save a downed pilot on Easter Sunday. Update: I listened to this Islamist asshole -- his objection was that Trump tweeted "open the fucking Strait" on Easter, which Tuq'r says in an assault on Jesus and an attempt to destroy Christianity. He was also offended that Trump would bully Iran into not attempting to sink trading ships as they peacefully sailed through the strait. It's all the most despicable Communist inversion of reality. Iran attacking shipping is just their right, Trump's demand that they stop is a gross assault that Tuq'r cannot abide. And meanwhile Tuq'r has said nothing about this demonic Muslim attack on a church on Easter. Trump using the f-word on Easter is an attack on Christianity, but his Islamist allies' literally massacring Christians at an Easter service is not an attack on Christianity.The attack occurred on Sunday morning in Ariko village, located in the Kachia area of Kaduna state. Gunmen opened fire on congregants celebrating the religious holiday, leaving five people dead at the scene. However, Caleb Maaji, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria for Kaduna state, reported a higher toll, stating that two churches in the village were targeted and seven worshippers lost their lives. "Findings are still ongoing," Mr Maaji told Reuters, noting that the precise number of those initially seized remained unclear."Regrettably, the remains of five victims already killed by the terrorists were also recovered at the scene," the army stated, as reported by The Washington Post. "The fleeing terrorists are believed to have sustained significant casualties, as evidenced by blood trails along their escape routes." The residents said the terrorists operated "in the area for an extended period before encountering any resistance from security forces." In another attack, the Mbalom community's residents told officials that terrorists slaughtered 17 people.
Because he's a scumbag woke Islamist propagandist.

Last reported Iranian counter-offers were ludicrous demands of the sort a winning side would impose. Possibly the tune has changed, but if so musta been a doozy of a change.
Penn's remarks on the absurd senatorial vomitus are weak, but absolutely the norm any more. He changes the subject. The claim that attacks on duel-use infrastructure is a "war crime" is absolutely illiterate and incorrect. Penn should start by laying that out. But I doubt he understand the subject either. It's rare to find any well-reasoned refutation of the childish garbage that now is almost all that one hears from "critics" and ankle-biters.

“To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat,” the lawmaker continued.
This is the energy we need, even if it feels routine. Everyone constantly rushes to comment stuff like "doesn't matter, the baddies will do what they want," which just gives the baddies permission to do what they want. All we need to do is speak out, every time, and never stop, because the fascists aren't stopping.
Trump purged the DoD of anybody that would resist an order. Remember all those important Generals getting fired or just quitting? We actually needed those. Those are the types to stop 'illegal orders'.
Remember recent reports that military leaders were giddy with excitement about being "instrumental in bringing the 2nd coming of jesus and the rapture" Those types are not refusing anything.

The last forty years - back to the 80s - have been all about us lying about the group actions of groups. Pretending that groups don't act like groups. That stereotypes have no truth whatsoever, when discussing groups.
So here's another one. Its hard enough giving a man authority over another man. Sketchy at best. Because, especially now, most men don't get authority by leadership. Its a system that rewards the worst. The ones that seek authority.
Now apply that to a woman. There may be a woman now and then that can wield authority well over a man. But other than Thatcher ? Never seen it for myself.

I was willowed, but I still want to know: how did the revolution of 1979 ever succeed?

Seems like it could work now... but perhaps someone could put me some facts.

Documents have been declassified EXACTLY about this. Thank Jimmy Carter. Jimmy was a "humanitarian" ... at least in his own mind. He thought the Shah was too heavy handed.
So while the Shah came to the US for surgery, Carter's CIA completed a months long campaign and the Ayatollah took charge. The documents exist. Our Government was in direct contact with the Muslims.
Obama was a continuation of Carter. Carter was a reflection of 1970s politics. Lots of Evangelicals loved them some Carter. Fools.

8pm EST is 0430am in Iran.
I hope Christians are hiding or smuggled out of the areas that are going to be bombed.
I hope the barbarians of eeslam are going to vaporize into pink mist and have virgins of goats with chlamydia in hell (well and stuff that burns even worse than herpes).
I read that koalas have chlamydia that did all sorts of stuff in my brain thinking about this, which is why I mentioned it.

Sadly, the ayahtollah is in the details. When does the cease fire officially start?
Admittedly, getting off one last round before the clock strikes midnight is pretty fucked up (and typical), it may be that they haven't formally violated the cease fire. This also assumes that the report is accurate.

This is a shrewd move. If the ceasefire is broken, Iran becomes the unquestionable aggressor.
The pause gives us a change to rest our aircrews, do maintenance and also work psyops on Iran, perhaps causing a coup. Our spies can also move around more freely.

These people assign every fanatical belief of the Iranian mullahs to our own leadership.
They truly believe that not only are Republicans/Christians just as bad as the Iranian/Muslims, but that our side are much more despotic & evil and bent on bringing on a theocratic state to manifest the End Times.
That the Iranians just murdered around 30,000 to 50,000 of their own people in February doesn't even enter their deluded minds. They still think Trump is just as evil.

They are afraid of the Muslims in their midst and realize that their military is in tatters, and they cannot respond even if they wanted to.
Look, Muslims vote as an absolute monolith, they are told how to vote, and all of them do it, for whoever they are told to. They don't even need a large population to sway elections significantly. If Christians did the same we'd utterly dominate politics.

That's because the Europeans, like the battered wife, still think they can change the Muslims, because they still think they are really good at heart and they just need a little education, guidance and love to be better.
What sucks for the EUies is that there ain't no police coming to their rescue or a shelter waiting to keep them safe until the danger passes.

The current inventory is displayed on the SPR's website.[3] As of March 7, 2025, the inventory was 395.3 million barrels (62,850,000 m3). This equates to about 19 days of oil at 2023 daily U.S. consumption levels of 20.275 million barrels per day (3,223,500 m3/d)[4] or 47 days of oil at 2024 daily U.S. import levels of 8.420 million barrels per day (1,338,700 m3/d).[5] However, the maximum total withdrawal capability from the SPR is only 4.4 million barrels per day (700,000 m3/d), so it would take about 90 days to use the entire inventory. At recent market prices ($66 a barrel as of March 2025),[6] the SPR holds over $9.5 billion in sweet crude and approximately $12.9 billion in sour crude (assuming a $15/barrel discount for sulfur content).

On a related note, M2 grew at an 11% (annualized) rate in February. That's before the Iran war. We might be longing for Bidenflation soon, although not before the midterms due to the lag before the money supply growth manifests itself in prices to give the banks the opportunity to squeeze every last drop of juice from the cantillon effect.

I have no idea how the rules work for each European nation but I presume they are legally part of these countries and residents. I have no idea how many are voting illegally either, but however it works out, they have a very powerful voting bloc that the people in charge have to reckon with, and they choose to do so by cringing and cowering before Islam.

Tee-hee...who could be against reminding our servicemembers not to follow unlawful orders!? It's perfectly innocent!

Every officer, NCO, and enlisted soldier understands illegal orders. And the Services have the lawyers to keep them straight. This is classic bureaucratic equivocation. It's bullshit up until they specify a particular action. Then it is treason. Arrest them all.

Their entire policy system is based around keeping their social services going, no matter what it costs them. They can see they are totally unable to maintain much longer, so they are trying to find answers to how to keep it going. So flooding the nation with cheap labor felt like an answer. How that felt like it would work, I have no idea.
But they let their military collapse and rot so badly England can't even float a single freaking ship. Argentina senses weakness, they are talking about claiming the Falklands now. And the UK cannot do a damned thing about it. I mean, they can beg the US for help but why would we?

Gavin Newsom Directs $19 Million in California Taxpayer Money to Madison Avenue to Improve California's Reputation -- Just as Gavin Newsom Is Running for President and Personally Needs California's Image to be Remade
Wow, a Democrat taking taxpayer money for his own personal benefit.
I gotta tell you guys, I did not see this one coming. It just snuck up on me.Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping to to boost California's tarnished image on the national stage -- so he's throwing millions in taxpayer money at a high-powered New York public relations firm to do it for him. The governor's Office of Business and Economic Development awarded PR powerhouse Edelman a contract worth up to $19 million to burnish the Golden State's reputation, KCRA reported. Edelman -- which also does work on behalf of mega-companies like Dove, Starbucks, eBay and Heineken -- will be tasked with combating "negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media" about California while promoting the state's economy and tourism. ... The contract begins on April 6 and will run through then end of the year, which nearly coincides with end of the governor's term in early 2027.Oh you mean January 2027, as the official primary season begins in earnest. How convenient.
The state agency previously told the outlet that the campaign wouldn't be about Newsom himself, but California. "The campaign will tell the California story, not the Gavin Newsom story," the agency said. "The effort is about California's success, not about politics."Uh-huh. You're just rebutting "partisan narratives" but not for any partisan purpose. Sure.
Weird that he didn't want to tell this "true story" in years when he wasn't running for president. People and businesses have been fleeing California for six years, you know.
A Newsom spokesperson previously told the Los Angeles Times that California's business climatehas been "falsely and maliciously maligned for years," and that the "state has a right to tell the true story."
... News of the contract drew ample criticism. "Gavin Newsom is giving 19 million California taxpayer dollars to a New York PR firm to promote California in a better light to the nation. Which does not at all sound like Gavin Newsom is making a presidential campaign ad for himself," Kevin Dalton, who ran for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, wrote on X.Speaking of California politicians raiding the public fisc for their own benefit and to pay off their donors: Gavin Newsom's Obama-Biden boondoggle to spend tens of billions of dollars on a "high speed train" from LA to San Francisco -- when that route is well-serviced by planes and, well, a nice car ride if you have half a day to spare -- that even 60 Minutes noticed.
"Californians aren't being asked, they're being billed," added Republican congressional candidate Christine Bish.
🚨BREAKING: 60 Minutes just aired Gavin Newsom's high speed rail being EXPOSED as the "QUINTESSENTIAL EXAMPLE of government waste and mismanagement."

She's just an absolute deranged woke warrior. She just made news by declaring, proudly, she's taking all the steps necessary to trans her sons.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the very avatar of Democrat Woman. Haughty, hectoring and pleased with herself, she is single-handedly wrecking her henpecked husband Gavin's lofty political ambitions. No wonder he's taken to moping around and crying at press conferences. As the California governor's presidential aspirations head south and his state's woes become impossible to ignore, he's tried in vain to reset his ailing brand -- and now his 51-year-old actress-turned-activist wife is taking over. Over the weekend, she inserted herself into the news again with an Instagram video pontificating that the departure of Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem from President Trump's cabinet is proof that the commander-in-chief is waging a "war on all women." "I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women," she opined in a mint green jacket, with her long, blond tresses cascading fetchingly over one shoulder. As she enunciated every bad word she could think of for Trump's "sexism and misogyny," she bizarrely smiled: "Devalued" -- smile. "Degraded" -- smile. "Diminished" -- smile. "No woman is safe in Trump's Republican Party." Smile, smile, smile. The title she posted on the screen was: "Some thoughts on the patriarchy." Mrs. Newsom has "thoughts" -- and boy, does she want you to hear them. Her assertiveness was on full display a few weeks ago when she elbowed her husband away from the podium and took over his press conference to scold the assembled reporters for not being sufficiently admiring of some abortion funding announcement the governor had just made. "We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population," she said. "And the majority of the questions -- all of these questions -- have really been about other issues. So, it's just fascinating." She was greeted by "incredulous" silence. Not only had she publicly emasculated the governor with the sort of first-spouse effrontery we haven't seen since Hillary Clinton entered the White House, but she showed herself to be incapable of using basic English. Maybe she thinks "incredulous" is an intellectual version of "incredible."
@JnglJourney Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, said she actively works to challenge gender norms with her sons, telling an interviewer: "I've given our boys dolls... if I'm reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she."

I question her running over her older sister in a golf cart as an accident. Oopsie!
I mean, I catapulted my younger brother up five stairs into a door at the landing with a loud thud after a battle over the remote control. By using both hands on his behind. I did this on purpose and got into more trouble (it was worth it). This crime was pretty hard to deny and I've never been a liar. However, this didn't kill him and he fake cried to get me into more trouble.
If I were Candace Owens I would open an investigation about this golf cart "mistake."
I also feel sure NYC is worried about his PR when people are crapping and having sex on their sidewalks under Mayor Mondingo.Which should encourage tourism.

This woman should get the same press but she won't. Because killing your older sister with a golf cart is no big deal with liberals.
She wasn't three years old, she was six. I was smarter than that at six and would know not to hijack a golf cart to go anywhere, much less back over my sister.
I had enough sense at 6yrs old to walk home from elementary school and cross streets, one busy. Granted only once alone for being kept after school and I was pretty freaked out, but I did it.
To compare this "accident" to heaven knows the crimes of men she was talking to is absurd.
She might as well have said she popped a zit and it was as tramatizing as a gunshot and sucking chest wound.

Gavin Newsom's in-laws fled from California to Florida during the pandemic, records show. Fox News Digital previously learned the Siebel family trust made a donation to a Ron DeSantis PAC
EXCLUSIVE: Not only did the in-laws of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom give money to one of his biggest political foes; they fled from his state during the pandemic.
Kenneth F. Siebel Jr. and Judith A. Siebel, parents of Newsom's wife Jennifer Siebel and longtime California residents, became Florida residents in 2020 after purchasing a $3.3 million Naples home in March of that year, records show. The Siebels appear to still have ownership of their California home in northern San Francisco suburb of Ross.
Newsom's in-laws, however, officially became registered voters in the Sunshine State as of June 2020. Kenneth Siebel is a registered Republican while Judith Siebel has no party affiliation.

Nobody else? We can't do it, either. This country lacks the political will to prosecute any protracted war against any enemy. And that's without even taking into account our huge, girthy fifth column, which is already fully mobilized.
More to the point: even if it were possible for us to fight a multi-year conflict and win it, we shouldn't.
Only the people of Iran can do this. They've been given a gift nobody ever gets. We've put their tormentors on the back foot, big time. If they don't care to seize the initiative, then that's on them.

How did the six yr old react after the murder?
Did she run away as her sister lay dying?
Get golf balls and throw them at ducks?
Freeze and tell Mommy she didn't mean to kill Sissy?
Laugh?
I guess only her shrink knows.
I realize these are similarly insane thoughts of Miz Newscum, of the Shiny Face Korean Beauty Products of Snail Slime.

US Declaration of Independence...
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
Note the last line... Right AND DUTY...

Agreed.
The U.S. has never been particularly good at occupation, especially in the modern era after Japan and Germany.
If the Iranians do it themselves with a little help and support from us it stands a good chance of sticking as opposed to something forced from the outside.
It's now or never for the Iranian people so I hope they have it in them, after all these decades, to go after the tyrants ruling over them.

I saw some interview where Newsome was talking to Charlie Kirk (trying to ride his coattails), and Newsom told Charlie that his son was SO excited to meet Charlie and watched all of his videos, so I think the weirdo parents are surrounded by sane grandparents and children.

Yeah, including us. We bought a delightful house in the suburbs of Sacramento in 1984. Great place. Nice state, nice city, nice people - until about 2015 or so, when the business climate got worse, and the politics got worse, and the conditions of the roads got LOTS worse. Finally, in 2019, my wife was watching something on TV and Navin Gruesome said that he was going to send sheriff's deputies door to door to collect all the guns. She turned to me and said "We need to get out of California!".
This, from a woman who had spent her ENTIRE LIFE in CA, other than 3 years in the Philippines when I was in the Navy. It was a good time to go; I was over 69, and our house was paid off, so I retired from my job, we put our house on the market, she started researching places in Texas.
Then Covid happened, so we hunkered down as we did internet research. She found a delightful house on the distant outskirts of San Antonio, bought it sight-unseen (you can do AMAZING THINGS with Google Maps, Zillow, and a great local realtor) packed up the guns and cats and essentials into a 27ft RV, and drove 6 days to Texas. And here we are!

Newsom has an answer for all this, by the way. Throw numbers at him about the Train to Nowhere and he's got a deflection, a change of subject, a noble-sounding aphorism. Same for the French Laundry Masque of the Red Death, the billionaire flight, the business flight, the decline in education, the fraud scandals, the whole bit. He's got an answer.

This Terafab idea of Tesla's has a good chance of changing the way silicon chips are made, both in iteration and speed of production.

The accident was DAYS before her 7th birthday. In Hawaii. Many children playing around golf carts (who knows where the parents were?).
She did not know that Sissy was "hiding" behind the golf cart she reversed and murder she rode.
I realize with a normal person not married to a scumbag I would have more sympathy. Did she tell this story in 2023 to "get ahead" of it?
I know I don't often tell of hurling my brother up a stairwell in the event I am suddenly famous. For starters only his pride was hurt. Also, too bad in the war of siblings for survival.

I would have found a knife or other weapon and there would be blood all over his hotel robe, the walls, the balcony. And he'd forevermore pee like a girl.
Then she dated Clooney, who we know is a faggot. I guess a ritual of being a beard. He and Julia Robert's ugly husband are rumored to be more than friends.

2028 will completely come down to turnout by GOP voters. That's it, that's all she wrote, and the Party's choice of candidate affects literally nothing.
Nobody should waste any time on which candidate is more beatable, because the answer is nobody. They shouldn't waste any thinking about which would be the worst threat as President, because the answer is all of them.
And whoever the GOP candidate is shouldn't bother running against them or their records, because none of their voters give a rat's ass about the fact that they're all malevolent retards and perverts, and absolutely no revelation will suppress their turnout.
All they should worry about is jacking up their own base and their own moderates with a positive message, because their voters actually do care about that stuff. Forget the Democrats.

Perfectly typical. The support of abortion, for women, is the idea that their daughters want to screw but not carry the baby alone.
Then, passing that ? The idea that the cunt whore next door not saddle their son with an unwanted welp. Or - passing that ? That the cunt whore next door doesn't saddle society with the welp.
Women are not maternal when it comes to welps outside the circle. Not in the least.

Sons and Nieces of High-Ranking Islamic Occupation Army of Iran Officials Have Been Living High on the Hog In the US -- But Are Now Getting Their Satanic Asses Deported Back to Their Homeland Hellhole
The son of a notorious Iranian regime leader is enjoying an affluent lifestyle in Los Angeles, the California Post can reveal. Campaigners are calling for Eissa Hashemi, 43, to be investigated and deported for defiantly refusing to denounce his mother's sickening past. On Monday, he appeared unfazed by the controversy and defiantly brushed off a reporter's questions, declining to speak after a workout at his fancy gym. The college psychology lecturer is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, known as "Screaming Mary," who acted as spokesperson for violent militants who stormed the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. She was infamous worldwide for firing off twisted propaganda during the crisis, even encouraging captives to describe the punishing ordeal in glowing terms. Ebtekar was later promoted to Vice President for Women and Family Affairs by regime leaders -- becoming the country's first female VP and one of the highest-ranking women in the Muslim world today. In January, protestors gathered at the $20,000 a year Chicago School in in Claremont, east LA, and other teaching institutions in the area with links to Hashemi, for rallies calling for him to be deported. Organizers of Change.org petitions want Hashemi to be kicked out of the country. One wrote: "While the mother has no regret of occupying the US embassy in Tehran, many Iranians have been affected by this action while her own son has taken advantage of living in the US. "We want Issa Hashemi and his wife, Maryam Tahmasebi to be fired from the US as soon as possible." A poster on Instagram said: "Mr. Hashemi has never publicly distanced himself from his mother's actions or legacy." ...Okay, he's not being deported. Yet. But the pampered niece and grand-niece of Iran's top terror commander and Austere Religious Scholar Qasem Soleimani -- assassinated by airstrike by Trump in his first term -- were just arrested by ICE and scheduled for deportation.
Another said: "47 years ago, Masoumeh Ebtekar took U.S. diplomats hostage for 444 days and threatened to kill them. "Today, her son, Isa [sic] Hashemi works for Chicago School of Professional Psychology and lives freely in Los Angeles." And one more added: "His father was also one of the core group of leaders of the Muslim Students Followers of the Imam's Line and several of the former hostages, including my father, positively identified him as being present during their torture and interrogation. "His mother was perhaps even crueler than some of the other captors. This guy has no business being in this country. I've been dogging him since 2015."
The niece of slain Iranian terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani -- who showcased her luxe LA lifestyle on Instagram while bashing the US as the "Great Satan" -- and her daughter have been arrested by ICE agents, the State Department announced Saturday. Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, who allegedly celebrated attacks on US soldiers and military bases, and her daughter Sarinasadat Hosseiny, have had their green cards revoked over their ties to the Iranian regime. "While living in the United States, she promoted Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks against American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian Supreme Leader, denounced America as the 'Great Satan,' and voiced her unflinching support for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terror organization," according to a State Department letter confirming the Friday arrests.
Afshar, 47, entered the US in 2015 on a tourist visa, was granted asylum in 2019 and secured a green card in 2021 from the Biden administration.
She made at least four trips back to Iran since receiving her green card, the Department of Homeland Security said. Hosseniy, 25, also entered the US in 2015 on a student visa. She became a green card holder in 2023. Her online persona was at odds with the Shia Islam her mother espoused.
Photos on her since-deleted social media reveal the bikini-clad babe showing off stomach tattoos and lounging on a jetski in barely-there swimsuit. Other Instagram posts show Hosseiny clubbing in Miami, vacationing in Alaska, and partying down in Las Vegas. "It is a privilege to be granted a green card to live in the United States of America. If we have reason to believe a green card holder poses a threat to the US, the green card will be revoked," Lauren Bis, a DHS spokesperson, told The Post. The State Department also referenced Afshar's extravagant life in Los Angeles, which she allegedly frequently documented on her Instagram account, which has also apparently been deleted.
This is what the Iranian regime does to women who show their hair.

Iran on Monday hanged a man convicted in connection with nationwide protests in January. Early morning executions have become near-daily events under the cover of the war against Israel and the United States. Most of those executed are young men, including teens, alleged to have been either involved in the protests that were brutally suppressed by the regime -- with thousands shot dead in the streets -- or members of banned opposition groups. Undeterred by the war, the Islamic Republic continues to exact its revenge, and exiled opposition groups and rights organizations said they feared that hundreds more could be executed in the coming days. Ali Fahim, 23, was hanged Monday after being found guilty of involvement in an attack on a Tehran base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Basij militia during the protests, according to rights groups who have followed the case. The judiciary's Mizan Online website described him as "one of the enemy elements in the terrorist riots," and said he was hanged after the supreme court approved the original verdict.It sounds like they accused him of messaging the checkpoint's location to Israel or the US.
For two straight years we had leftist protestors going nuts over non-existent genocide and war crimes in Gaza.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it.
He's talking about Sammy Hagar's "I'll Fall in Love Again", from his Standing Hampton album.
Evidence that the song is NOT obscure:
1. The album generated 5 charting singles, of which that song is one.
2. The song was on the soundtrack of Vision Quest.
3. And the slam-dunk final bit of proof: the song is currently on my personal playlist.
One thing I would rate as obscure though, is how the album got its name:
It was a British fan who told him of the term that came to be the title. In Cockney rhyming slang, a "Hampton" is a substitution for penis (Hampton Wick rhymes with "Dick"). One that is "standing" would be a reference to an erection.

It's one thing to fall below your wonderful Instagram life...then to fall to the stone age.
Those painted on eyebrows with Sharpies never fail to amuse me (granted, I have real eyebrows and they are spectacular, even in my advancing age as a Nana because I never overplucked).
Do guys LOOK at the drawn on eyebrows when they mate today? I reckon that is not important if the lights are off. Whoa.
We used to have magnetic toys called Wooly Willie, where you could apply fake hair and eyebrows with a little fake pen.
I think I'd come closer to gluing on hair for eyebrows vs the tatoo deal or sharpie. Cutting off my own hair and super glue on what was left of my eyebrows. What on earth? This goes far beyond the "I woke up this way."

If you need a vacation from us, take it. I could possibly live for a week without you if you need rest.
I would invite you here to the castle. However, my husband would tell you that you wouldn't get a moments rest here, either. For many reasons.
Do it! Unvarnish your lungs and brain and do it!

I hope that's not the case. The worst possible outcome for us is having spent a month giving everyone heartburn with the airstrikes, we just give up and sail home only to have them rebuild their missile and nuke program while Trump's attention is elsewhere, and eventually once he leaves office. If that happens, then all that will have been accomplished is filling them with a desire for revenge.

Trump and other officials have outlined the requirements of a ceasefire since day one.

The Immortals were an elite military unit of the Achaemenid Empire, consisting of 10,000 heavy infantry who served as both the emperor's personal guard and a key part of the standing army. Their name comes from the practice of immediately replacing any member who was killed or incapacitated, maintaining their number and giving the impression of being invincible.

It's fine. It's pretty funny.
But Mel Brooks didn't understand Star Wars, like at all, so it's really just a space opera comedy.
It's not like Star Wars is complicated. It's basic hero journey stuff in space, but Brooks never touches on it.
I guess that's the line between parody and satire.

I have no idea if that's possible with Iran, but we can't know because they haven't tried.
I think they believe (with good reason) that the regime only needs to hold out for a few weeks to break the weak-to-nonexistent will of the American people, and then Trump will cut a deal to end this, so nobody wants to climb out on any limb. As such, they will squander their best opportunity to take back their country.
If they don't want it, then fine. That's on them. We've crippled Iran, it will take years for them to approach anything like status quo ante, build back a nuclear program, wage war in the Middle East, and so on. We can always come back and repeat this as needed.
I hope this is the last prompt they get. Do it or don't, people. But the fence-sitting is NOT helping your cause.

But I think that comes from those that thought the war was a huge mistake, and that Iran is another Iraq.
A different opinion is that "boots on the ground" are not so essential to win the war, because today we have so much more tech, and can in real time observe their movements and bomb them hours or maybe minutes later. We also have perhaps 70% of the population on "our side".
And if we are really cratering their deep tunnels and caves, and bombing them when they try to repair, perhaps we don't need boots on the ground. It would be nice to kill the IRGC that are still murdering the 70% resistance. Not sure of the best way to accomplish that. Maybe their non IRGC army would be less murderous. Seems we are only killing the IRGC higher ups, not the "other army".

Chinese Spy Humper and Treasonous Russia Hoaxer Eric Swalwell Accused of Sexual Harassment and Misusing Funds
Wow, a Democrat who uses his office to enrich himself and predate* upon underlings.
I shan't believe it. I simply shannot. But believe all women amitire MD Kittle at The Federalist:The office of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., offers internships "for college students to gain valuable work experience ... [and] absorb the many functions of a Congressional office." If the growing harassment allegations against the leftist lawmaker and leading Democrat candidate for California governor are true, Congress may want to put the kibosh on Swalwell's tutelage program for young women. It seems the accomplice media has been too busy falling all over themselves in their absurd attempt to make Swalwell a martyr of President Donald Trump's "weaponization of law enforcement" to pay much attention to the women coming forward accusing the swamp rat of inappropriate sexual conduct. Swalwell's flacks are furiously trying to explain away why the smarmy Democrat's campaign spent north of $300,000 on "private attorneys who specialize in white-collar criminal defense and employment law." They told KCRA 3 in Sacramento the payments were for legal guidance to fend off Trump's "retaliatory investigations" into Swalwell that have "put his family and staff at risk." After all, If you can't trust a morally corrupt congressman who fervently peddled the Russia collusion hoax, who can you trust? 'Pattern of Manipulation and Abuse of Power' Cheyenne Hunt, a Democrat who in 2024 ran unsuccessfully for California's 45th Congressional District seat, posted on her social media sites that she has been "working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward and sharing their stories of sexual harassment and even alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell." Hunt, who serves as executive director of the liberal organization Gen-Z for Change, claims a "major news outlet" is preparing to publish a story on the allegations. "So let me be as clear and transparent about that as I safely can be," she said in a video posted to her Facebook page. "I am personally working with a group of women who want to come forward and share their stories. I am also aware of a much larger group that is also in this process that I am not personally working with." Hunt says the group has pro bono legal representation to protect the victims' "legal and physical safety" as they share their experiences about Swalwell, adding that a number of women have come forward since a previous post last month. In that post she accused Swalwell of having a "predatory history toward women."Meanwhile, Trump appears to have made a major mistake in California. He endorsed Republican Steve Hilton for governor. The problem is that this is a jungle primary and there was no need to endorse either Republican yet -- both can win the jungle primary and then face each other mano a mano -- no Democrat candidate! -- in the general. But this means it's likely that Hilton will cannibalize a big chunk of his Republican rival's support, and easily win the jungle primary -- along with a Democrat, who will then go on to easily beat him. This is Mark Halperin's analysis but I don't see any fault with it. The only way a Republican can win in California -- unless Californians are finally so sick of Democrats they'll go against 50 years of voting history for a change -- is to run against another Republican. This increases the odds that Hilton will lose the governor's race.
2018. Eric Swalwell says that if Brett Kavanaugh is innocent of sexual assault, he should bring into his hearing all the people who have accused him so they can speak freely.

Swalwell also said that multiple accusers means Kavanaugh is most likely guilty.

But that will never happen - even if two Republicans win the jungle primary, a judge will find a justification for also putting a Democrat on the ballot for the general election.
It's California.
That would be complicated and embarrassing, however, so they are going after Swalwell simply to knock him out of the race, thus ensuring that a Democrat will finish in the top two.

They can over ride any veto, push any initiatives and keep selling the state to the Teachers Union, the SEIU and the Trial Lawyers, just as they have for years.
The last GOP Governor, Arnold, tried putting 5 reform initiatives on the ballot to "blow up the boxes".
The unions funded huge ad campaigns and all 5 went down to defeat. His popularity rating went from mid-60's to mid-30's.
At which point he hired Grey Davis's old Chief of Staff to be his CoS and his whole agenda changed.

Imagine if the Panama Canal and the Strait of Hormuz were blocked at the same time.
Not a pleasant scenario to contemplate.

A while back the GOPe in the state made a deal to make all the seats 'safe' which meant they could never flip any districts and their fate was sealed. Ironically, the new redistricting if the Dems do it might allow some seat flipping if they screw it up.

Pataki was governor of NY only 20 years ago. A Republican can win anywhere, IMO. It won't be easy, and it would take a lot of things to fall into place, but it's possible.

... well, it seems that California has an open primary that takes the top two vote earners and pits them against each other in the General Election in November. As of this moment, the top two in the polls are both Republicans. The Democrats need to get some of the 12 (I believe) Democrats going into the primary. Swallwell appears to be the first culling of the herd.

Two Republicans were never going to make it to general, it's just wishcasting based on an early poll in a crowded primary before people have had a chance to coalesce around the frontrunners.
Your scenario would never happen as well. Dems wouldn't care about a single term GOP gov, they have a supermajority in the legislature that can override a veto anyway. Jungle primaries have been a massive benefit to Dems because they don't have to flood money into general elections in their many coastal strongholds and can instead route tens of millions into the campaigns for contested seats.

Another reason I say Porter is that she was mad about being done dirty in the US Senate race (the one in which Schiff prevailed).

I can write that off as a mistake. I can’t ignore that AIPAC Eric has an AI startup that he’s been pitching to other members of Congress while running to govern Silicon Valley. Only one candidate isn’t compromised by corporations and can tackle big tech and billionaires: Porter.
So, Swalwell was at the Bruce Springsteen show in Portland last night with a 20-ish year old woman. I assumed she was his daughter until I looked at a photo of his family today.
Sometimes everyone comes at you because you're the 'leader'. Other times, it's just because everyone hates you. I guess time will tell which one this is.
God please not swalwell for Governor. Being hated by everyone probably just means you suck, not that you are a good candidate. The idea that being hated means you are moderate and therefore good is so stupid.

He should have said that.
Seriously. Decades ago when I was young. The USSR sent a trade delegation to Cincinnati in the 80's. Set up in the Union terminal. I was in sales so basically doing nothing. So i went. There was no one there except me and like half a dozen Russians. There was one lady, 30 ish. Not great looking but okay. Nice hooters. I walked around a bit and one of the old guys was talking to her in Russia and pointing towards me. She came over and started talking to me. How wonderful Russia was etc. Standing close to me. THe old guy comes up from behind her with like a giant old camera with like the accordion bellows looking extension and a separate handheld flash bulb. He tries to take my picture, as he was going to do it, I stepped back so she was blocking me. He wound up taking a picture of nothing. He got mad and started yelling at her. I left. I don't think it was a honey pot, but it was pretty obvious that the last thing in the world she wanted to do was to talk to me and her boss was making her. I should have stayed. It would have turned into a Woody Allen movie.

USC canceled its March 24 debate because none of the non-White candidates met the objective criteria they had set to qualify. Reality is unequitable, and Leftists are so hatefully bigoted that a debate with six White candidates seemed worse to them than none at all.

The EU, too, it seems.
Euro News, "Don't commit war crimes in Iran, EU urges Trump as deadline looms"
Donald Trump's threat to strike Iran's bridges and power plants has raised the prospect of war crimes. The EU insists all sides should respect international law and exercise "maximum restraint".
👉HOWEVER, The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and does not recognize its jurisdiction over American citizens. While the U.S. signed the treaty in 2000, it never ratified it, and the signature was later formally withdrawn, citing concerns over sovereignty, constitutional conflicts, and the potential prosecution of U.S. military personnel.

In Virginia, Abigail Spannberger, a woke Deep State traitor, ran as a "moderate centrist." This was, of course, a lie to con the rubes. But the rubes are noticing, and her approval rate is plunging as Virginia voters realize they've been lied to.
Yes, they're ahead -- but only barely. Given historical precedent and the current political environment, they should be running away with it. But they're not. "This lead is historically low for Democrats at this point with a Republican president," Enten said. "On average, their lead's actually slightly less. It's five points. That's less than it was back in 2018 when it was eight points and way less than it was during the 2006 cycle when it was 11 points." Five points. Now, I don't exactly trust the approval rating polls showing that President Donald Trump at -20 or -30, but still, with numbers like that, Democrats should be crushing the GOP in the general congressional ballot, but they're not. "You'd make the argument, Democrats should be way ahead, and they're just only sort of slightly ahead," Enten pointed out.
Just two months into her term of office, Gov. Spanberger's approval polling is barely above water. Her win last year was supposed to be the victory of pragmatic moderation over the voices of the far left, but since then Virginia voters seem to have realized she's a left-wing partisan, not a moderate. Today the Washington Post has a story about this sudden turnaround.The Democrats, of course, intend to lie their way into office this year. They will almost all claim to be moderate, except for the designated woke warrior bomb-throwers in safe districts who will be allowed to preach the True Democrat Religion. It's important to really push the Spannberger story and show that she lied and therefore all the other Democrats running the Spannberger Playbook are lying as well.
Advertisement
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's approval rating stands at 47 percent two months into the Democrat's term, with 46 percent of voters disapproving and 7 percent expressing no opinion in a Washington Post-Schar School poll. Spanberger won in a 15-point landslide last year after touting her reputation for bipartisanship built on three terms representing a conservative-leaning district in Congress. But her current ratings reflect sharp polarization among Virginia voters in their views of the state's first female governor. The approval mark for Spanberger is 13 percentage points lower than the average for Virginia governors in Post polling since the 1990s. Her near-even split between approval and disapproval is a worse net approval rating than the early-term scores of her predecessors in previous Post polls. It is also slightly weaker than ratings of her immediate predecessor, Glenn Youngkin (R), in a Post-Schar School poll last fall, showing he ended his term with 50 percent approval and 46 percent disapproval.
So where is the "sharp polarization" coming from? It's coming from Spanberger herself who hasn't been content to focus on affordability and is instead focused on issues like making sure police don't cooperate with ICE.
This is a five-alarm fire for Democrats in swing states.

Your quarterly reminder that the entire 25th Amendment process is short-circuited by a letter written by the president to the Speaker of the House.
The 25th Amendment is designed for a comatose or missing president, not a crazy one.
Anyone pushing this nonsense either has no clue what they are talking about, or they are grifting.
It's probably both, to be honest.

The regime knows Trump means business, unlike the weak-kneed appeasers who preceded him.
Reports flooding in confirm Iranians are already gathering en masse around key sites. Videos on social media show crowds forming human chains at power plants nationwide, with state media blasting the call as a “show of solidarity."
In their defense, those power plants are the 5,678th through 5,723rd most holiest sites in all of Islam.

Years later, she claimed it was nonconsensual. Sure it was. Tellingly, a jury that found Harv guilty of abusing certain other girls, actually acquitted him of the charges that he abused Siebel.
Put it this way: a jury believed Fat Harv's accusers -- except for Siebel. They didn't believe her. That tells you all you need to know about what she was really doing with Harv.

They want insane leftists and commies. They don’t understand what that means. It’s part of why Youngkin won the first time around. He didn’t call the Democrats (or didn’t just call them) insane leftists and commies. He campaigned on rolling back their specific crimes against children.
Meanwhile, most of the right, if they campaign against the Democrats at all, campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion; against transitioning and against gender affirming health care. Against the bullshit terms that Democrats make up for racism, segregation, and child mutilation rather than against what those bullshit terms really mean.

Do you think the opposition loses their weaponry to spontaneous combustion, or some shit, when they lose their lives?
There are weapons aplenty for when the time comes.
The only thing you can't provide is the moment that the equilibrium becomes dynamic.
Once that balance shifts, no amount of weapons will help a minority against the overwhelming number of the population.

Fournier's gangrene is the primary infection causing genital gangrene, a rare but life-threatening form of necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria) that rapidly destroys genital and perineal tissue. It is a polymicrobial infection—involving multiple bacteria such as E. coli and Streptococcus—usually triggered by underlying urinary tract infections, anorectal infections, or trauma. But to be fair, not sure the timing of when she supposedly serviced him vs his infection. Post infection he did the servicing via french connection.

Come on man, we have over 100 years of modern warfare to see what it takes to change regimes.
In Venezuela, we literally captured the head of state, whisked him out of the country, installed our puppet and have the CIA running the government from the shadows.

So, he did the bare minimum and then sounded nice for the microphones and looked good for the cameras.
Youngkin was, at best, an unremarkable governor. He was, more likely, an active participant in the GOPe's effort to undermine actual conservative votes in American governance.
Youngkin is a snake, and little makes me happier in American governance that Trump passed him by for VP and every cabinet post.

So much power resides in the presidency now that the winning of Congress is mostly a false prize.
The only real victory is directing the administrative state, DOJ, immigration enforcement, and treasury payments.
Everything else is largely pointless theater. Hell, when Democrats controlled Congress under Biden, all they did was pass a giant omnibus graft bill that all went to cronies. They didn't even pass policy. It's just...not what Congress does anymore.

The real payoff is in the millions they get as kickbacks. $180k is nothing.
This is why I’ve always thought we should pay politicians a lot more. Make it so they don’t have to take bribes. President gets $500k a year, I’d increase that to $1M and make congressional pay $500k. Thats enough to really want to a) keep the job and b) provides a comfortable enough lifestyle that there’s no need to go corrupt.

They just have to live in a dormitory, six to a room, and they have hours they must be in their rooms. It's provided free of charge, and no one is allowed to opt out.

Tuq'r Qarlson Attacks Trump: "No President Should Mock Islam"
Also Trots Out His New Demented Theory That Trump Might Be the Actual Literal Antichrist of the Book of Revelations
Let me just get this out of the way since the trolls are already here. (Is it funny, by the way, that we leave them in peace while they cannot stop attempting to annoy us into submission and threatening us that By God I'll Vote for Kamala Harris Just Like Nick Fuentes Told Me To If You Don't Obey My Tantrum!)
Below, in 2006, Tuq'r Qarlson said that he would vote for someone who declared "I'm a bigot, I don't like Islam, call me a racist, call me whatever you want." And now? "A president should not mock Islam." I assume that this is in reference to Trump ending some Truth social posts with "Peace be to Allah" or that kind of thing, which I'm not even sure is mockery. He might mean it in the George W. Bush kind of way.
Tucker Carlson in 2006: “I’m a bigot. If you’re really into Islam, I don’t care for you. I don’t care what that sounds like - you can call me a racist. I’d vote for you if you said that.”

And almost as if this is a planned op spearheaded by the foreign-government paid podcast brahs Tuq'r and Cavernous Nostrils, Cavernous just happens to drop her new conspiracy theory to day, that Trump is literally running a "satanic administration." Wow, it's such a coincidence that Tuq'r accuses Trump of being the literal Antichrist on the same day Cavernous debuts her "satanic administration under the control of zionists" op! And she says that Trump thinks he's a "Messiah!" What kind of "Messiah," Cavernous Nostrils? A false one, presumably...? Like the Antichrist will present himself as, yes?
Billboard Chris
@BillboardChris 12h Tucker never stopped being the man who called Trump a "demonic force," a "destroyer," and in 2021 texts wrote: "I hate him passionately. I can't handle much more of this." And "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait." Tucker just lied to get close to Trump so he could undermine him.
Caitlin DoornbosBoy I sure think Trump is making a huge mistake running down his loyal allies like that! We all have to unite behind Tuq'r, Cavernous, and of course !!RoNpAuL!!!!
@CaitlinDoornbos 4h President Trump went off on Carlson when I asked him about this nonsense this morning. "Tucker's a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what's going on. He calls me all the time; I don't respond to his calls. I don't deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools."

Okay...he didn't win...he almost did...by coming sixth.
But, Tucker is going to prove it even harder when his preferred candidate in the FL governor's race, James Fishback destroys all competition. Sure, he's polling at like...4% now, but that can only grow!

300 The cost analysis on the lost equipment is missing the point.
I was worth billions to prevent Iran from dragging one of our men through the streets like they have in the past. Not just for the loss of an American serviceman, but for the propaganda value.
The only reason to hesitate is the fear of making it worse and losing more men. The equipment cost does not enter the equation - it is trivial.
The thing is, these were career risking decisions. Hegseth would have been in a world of shit had he pulled a Jimmy Carter and the mission failed. He put his career on the line for the rescue. Trump DGAF, but he too would have paid a high price.
The win here is that we have leaders willing to put their careers and reputation at risk because it is the right thing to do. What a change.

I can't break this down statistically or scientifically, but as someone whose religious circle sometimes overlapped with, brushed up against, or was infiltrated by that segment of Christianity, there is a fraction of a fraction who will credulously follow any "Christian" of influence who hypes end-times apocalyptic bollocks and let their own confirmation bias do the rest. I suspect however that this sub-subset is relatively small and electorally insignificant, as compared to Christians and non-radical evangelicals more broadly. There were probably greater numbers in the 80s.

You would need to be enormously ignorant of biblical scripture and teaching to believe that. There is in fact more in biblical teaching to make you wonder if Tucker and Nostrils are in league with satan.
This is all part of an op planned long ago whereby people alleged to be conservative when they are really evil subversives. It all follows.

How about just that he's cruel and dangerous with a soul rotted to the core and Christians shouldn't support or worship him. Even a broken clock is correct sometimes, however this is not one of those times.
Tucker seems to have been personally shattered by the billion dollar judgement against Fox that included him being fired. I don't believe it's a fake persona just to get clicks. I think Tucker has developed a delusional persecution complex. Some day, he might even admit this.
Carlson recognizes that his life post collapse of the American Empire will be as hard as any poor persons, don't believe this little speech is motivated by anything other than self interest.

Iran never controlled it. It's an international waterway that they have a coastline on. They tried to exert threats over it which partially worked for a few weeks.
The actual control over oil Iran has had is the 2 million barrels a day they produced, usually selling well below market rates to Russian and China to get around sanctions.,

2026 does not have that.
Plus, the 2020 census redrew maps to all but eliminate on the cusp seats. A massive wave nets 15-20 seats now, not 60.
Plus, America still seems kind of pissed about the whole, "oops the third world entered the country through the southern border thing and drove up all of our costs of living, pass a new law so that we can let in more," thing.

As one that is familar with that world, it won't work except for the Flynn crowd. Same as the stupid 2016-2020 Dem ops regarding Trump and his divorces, etc.
In fact, the whole Rapture/Apocalyptic crowd has been on the wane in the evangelical community and ironically the reason is Trump.
Trump gives existential hope for the future to evangelicals while Barry and Puddin Brain's junta did not.
For the most part, Evangelicals dislike Muslims and the Muzzie pushes in Texas, and the normal part of VA (Falwell's old stomping grounds) give reason to view Trump as a corrective to weak assed GOPe GWB types muttering religion of peace while getting bucks behind the scene (like Tucker).

Be sure to lightly sand the surface between coats to remove any dust that settled upon the surfaces as they dried. 400 grit or 600 grit sandpaper and a light touch is all that is required.

And I want to congratulate President Trump on his promotion. We all start off as racists. And you can only be Hitler for about 15 minutes before someone else becomes Hitler again. Usually President Trump.
Not everyone gets promoted to anti-Christ though.

And the best way toward that is, weakening Trump and the MAGA coalition.

People in the media suck. They only get paid if people pay attention to them. So they must say stupid and crazy shit so people pay attention to them. Sometimes they fly too high and destroy themselves - see for example Keith Olberman. Ultimately, media people, at best, repeat what other people tell them. Most of the time they won't tell you who those other people are so you can decide whether it is bullshit or not. Its farcical most of the time. Lt Col. Bearclaw, some ex british spy with an expense account and no morals, a former employee of Bill and Hillary Clinton. None of these types of people are worth listening to at all. So they don't tell you who it is saying it. They do it for money. Its all about getting ahead, getting attention getting clicks, eyeballs etc. Its like they misbehaving attention starved kids found a way to get paid for their disfunction.

I doubt it. Candace's number are on the slide and my guess is that Tucker's will follow if they haven't already. Basically, people on the right turn you off if your predictions are consistently wrong.
People on the left are utopians so like Muzzies, the triumph despite recent losses is always just around the corner (strength and weakness at the same time).
Tucker, Candace, and the rest of Dugin's assholes can generate a brief crowd (just like a carny geek) but eventually the Gnostic crowd shuffles away to the next bearded lady or some other carny that issue predictions.

He said he's a mentally retarded person! He was so nasty to Joe Biden, it was terrible!"
"But to me, he likes Trump!"

Do you not think he could have gotten more through? If I recall correctly, almost 100 of his nominees are currently blocked in the Senate because one of them wasn't qualified.

The chances of Republicans losing the Senate are vanishingly small.
They'd have to lose NC (Cooper can't get above 45% in a poll in a state he's supposedly popular in, all while the state has been moving rightward in registration since he left office as gov), ME (Collins sits on a throne of skulls for a reason), TX (HA!), and one other while holding Michigan (if that Muslim gets the nomination for the D's...it could be a tossup) and GA (Ossoff very well could lose, especially if the FBI is looking into Fulton which...they seem to be).
And even if D's net 3, Republicans still hold the majority because of Vance as VP.
Remember, the 2018 election saw a D+9 generic environment and Republicans...gained 2 Senate seats. It's not about the generic environment, it's about the specific seats in the specific states and that senate races drive up turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. It states that all living believers, along with all believers who have died, will meet the Lord Jesus in the air and will be with Him forever. The rapture is God’s removing of His people from the earth. A few verses later, in 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Paul says, “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Trump treats him like a person and tries to come to an accommodation with him. Every other President treats him as a foreign threat to stir up fear in the populace so that the government can gain more power.
For himself, Kim Jung Un doesn't need more domestic power. Maybe, probably not - but maybe, he'd actually like to improve things in his country but he needs a foreign partner other than the CCP or Russia to accomplish that.

Iranian state media filmed dozens of civilians forming a human chain in front of one of the country's power plants on Tuesday.
Iranian officials had called on civilians to help protect energy infrastructure amid President Donald Trump's threats to begin targeting it.
Trump has given Iran until 8 p.m. ET to agree to a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but no progress has been announced.
Note: No word on how much is show and if active energy infrastructure.

Carlson alleged he is or was a traditional Christian who believes in God and the teachings of Jesus. He's converted into another religion or dropped Christianity altogether?
I'm going with Islam, TuCa and others (including a multitude of wacko ideologies) revealed, or not yet revealed, are the anti-Christ. And, perhaps there have been and/or are some signs from the Seven Signs of the Revelations, Book of the Revelations. 🤷♀️

The False Profit isn't just a speaker; he performs "great signs" to deceive the population.
Calling Fire from Heaven: He performs public miracles to give the Antichrist an aura of divine authority (over SpaceX)
The Talking Image: He orders the people to build an "Image of the Beast." (Grok) He is then given the power to give breath to this image so that it can speak.
2. The Death Penalty
The enforcement is literal and lethal. Revelation 13:15 states that the False Profit causes anyone who refuses to worship the image of the beast to be killed (through Palantir/tip-line) This creates a "worship or die" ultimatum for everyone on earth.
3. Economic Control (The Mark of the Beast)
This is perhaps the most famous method of enforcement. To ensure total compliance, the False Prophet institutes a global economic boycott:The Mark: Everyone—regardless of status, wealth, or age—is forced to receive a mark on their right hand or their forehead.The Restriction: No one can buy or sell anything unless they have the mark of Grok

Allow me to point out that Christian Apologists' reactions to Carlson's crap is to either roll their eyes or laugh at him.
His "I'm defending true christianity" arguments are wholly unpersuasive.

Iran Media Celebrates the Great Islamic Victory in Rescue of F-15 WSO; Joe Kent Spreads Iran Propaganda Lie That US Was Attempting to Kill the Weapons Officer Rather Than Rescue Him
Who put forward Joe Kent's name? Whoever did should be fired. I'm guessing it was Tulsi Gabbard but I don't know that.
He's a traitor and don't give me that jazz that servicemembers can't be traitors. Benedict Arnold was a capable commander until he turned over West Point to England. He posted a dishonest message that PJs (pararescue men, who I thought were Pararescue Jumpers, but no one seems to call them that) are "the best" while posting Iranian propaganda funneled through Iran's American agents at DropSite news that the US was attempting to murder its own man.American GIs, Tokyo Joe has a new message for you. The IRGC is having its way with your wives and girlfriends, American GIs.
Oh I'm getting to that, below. American warplanes and drones released, a former pararescue man reports based on his insider knowledge, "violence of Biblical proportions" in the "FAFO box" around the downed airmen. No, Tokyo Joe, it wasn't to kill the wizzo. It was to eradicate hundreds of Islamic Occupation Army thugs hunting him and rushing to his position.
Ex-Trump counterterror honcho Joe Kent promotes disturbing Iranian propaganda claiming US tried to kill stranded soldier By Emily Crane
Published April 6, 2026, 4:29 p.m. ET Conspiracy theorist and ex-National Counterterrorism Center boss Joe Kent has been called out for promoting wild Iranian propaganda that suggested the United States was actually trying to kill a downed American airman -- just hours before he was dramatically rescued. Kent, who abruptly resigned from his Trump administration position last month in protest over Iran, got into a war of words with CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday after the former counterterror honcho was called out for peddling the false claims. He had shared an article from Iranian state media over the weekend that claimed the US was actively bombing the same area where the missing airman was believed to be.
You know, most traitors believe they're doing the right thing by championing a foreign country over their own. Plus, traitors tend to be enormous egotists, narcissists really, who always know better than everyone else. Here's some background about the foreign propaganda mill "Drop Site News."
The pro-regime outlet was reporting that the Trump administration had "lost hope" of finding the American soldier and was now trying to kill him before he could be captured by Iranian forces.
Kent shared the post before President Trump revealed hours later that the crewman had finally been rescued in a daring operation behind enemy lines. Tapper, for his part, was quick to ridicule Kent "nonsense" post -- arguing his theory hadn't aged well. "Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent sharing Iranian state-linked outlet nonsense claiming, falsely, that the US was trying to kill the then-lost US pilot," Tapper posted on X. ... A defensive Kent quickly fired back, accusing Tapper and other media outlets of trying to "promote this foolish war & attack anyone who points out how this war isn't in our nation's interest."
The madwoman that Tokyo Joe leaked to instead of doing his actual job has some thoughts as well:
The media in Iran is parading the treasure trove of intelligence it collected. Underwear is only the beginning: our preferences in toothpaste, sunscreen, & preserved meats were also revealed. I regret the loss of secrets. But I gained respect for our soldiers’ dental hygiene. pic.twitter.com/r17KRZpSpO

Outstanding work, guys. Give yourselves all a bonus. The bitter communists are celebrating the loss of the planes and helos as a big Win for Iran:
Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time. pic.twitter.com/EB36KGNxC5

Peter BakerIf it sounds to you like a giant commie lie that it's a war crime to target military-used infrastructure in war, that's because that's exactly what it is. This bitter communist professor says the US committed war crimes by targeting "military aged males" rushing to capture the downed pilot. He claims they might have just been civilians racing up the mountain towards the pilot so they're all war criminals. "Age and gender," he intones, are not enough under International Law to establish that someone is a combatant. How about context? Seems to me the only people racing up a mountain where a downed pilot is hidden are going to be people trying to capture him, not Recreational Armed Speed Hikers.
@peterbakernyt No other modern president has talked so openly about committing potential war crimes. Wartime presidents and their aides have usually insisted they were trying to follow international and US military law, even if they violated it in some cases. @ewong
The only circumstance in which a civilian may be targeted is while they are directly participating in hostilities.
— Tom Dannenbaum (@tomdannenbaum) April 6, 2026
Being in a particular area does not entail direct participation in hostilities.
Targeting civilians is a war crime.
Source of quote:https://t.co/y3rdP8UcHk
2/2
2) He said there was an intense firefight -- "violence of Biblical proportions" -- between ground Basij and IRGC forces and lots of American planes and drones sent to protect the area where the downed pilot was hiding. The American forces created an "FAFO box" around the pilot's position and anyone coming with in it got the FO. Planes and drones were bombing open road just to slow down the approaching Islamic Occupation Army forces. (Which the left tells me is a war crime. But then, so was targeting the Occupation forces rushing to capture and torture the pilot.)
3) Unfortunately some of the rescuers were wounded by bullets and shrapnel in the firefight. I expect this will be the subject of intense press curiosity over the next months. They will turn this Anti-Benghazi, where we actually committed all the forces necessary to achieve a rescue, into "Trump's Benghazi."
4) He does not estimate the number of Islamic Occupational Army thugs killed by from context it sounds like it could be in the hundreds.
5) Because the C-130s were stuck, they had to send in more C-130s to pick up the special forces operators now out in the open in Iran and surrounded by Islamic Occupation Army forces.
6) He says he was leaked the information -- actually he pretends he's speaking "hypothetically allegedly" -- that some of the joint chiefs did not want to mount the rescue at all, considering it too dangerous, but someone with the handle "SecWar" overruled them.

Iran sent in special forces. The put on a bounty of $60,000. The location wasn't that far from a city of 2.2 million people, so local IRGC and police were probably directly involved.
And the US mowed down 1500 of them while losing no men.
But they got the jerky and the underwear.

Iran had a full day head start. The colonel was injured and only had a sidearm and a locator beacon.
Iran NEEDED this victory. They NEEDED to parade the POW around and torture him.
They offered a bounty of roughly 20-30x the annual Iranian salary to catch him in addition to getting direct reports with experience to go.
And they fucking failed miserably, getting slaughtered in the process.

That Dannenbaum fag apparently has never heard of the term "unlawful combatant" under International Law. Running around a battlefield shooting at uniformed troops while wearing civilian clothes and no identifying mark such as an armband or brassard to show that you're part of a lawful military/paramilitary unit qualifies you as an unlawful combatant.
Interesting aside, unlawful combatants can be summarily executed under the Geneva and Hague Conventions without violating the Laws of War.
Hell, even the Crips and Bloods in the US would qualify as lawful combatants, because they wear blue and red identifying marks. These middle eastern mohammedans never wear anything to identify themselves. Chinese knock-off counterfeit sneakers doesn't count.

Former Bernie supporter and Tulsi supporter who switch to Republican in about 2020, lost a safe GOP House seat twice, and then got a job in the Trump administration last year, supposedly at the behest of Tulsi.
He then spent his year tenure listening to Candace and complaining that the FBI wouldn't let him investigate things in his non-investigatory position, all while saying things in interviews about how Iran was an immediate threat in need of direct action.
He also most likely leaked info to Candace in this time.
He then flounced his job when he found out he was being investigate for the leaks, calling Iran a peaceful nation, and went on the podcast circuit as a prelude to him starting his own podcast (presumably).

If Iran strikes Saudi and Gulf states energy and desalination facilities this thing probably becomes a massive Sunni-Shia war with Saudi, Gulf states, Pakistan on one side and Iran and Iraqi Shias on the other side.
It's possible that with AI drone swarms aiding local uprisings and with air support from the US and Israel the currently unarmed local resistance could do something against the regime, but we would need like a million drones. The US military needed to have been taking lessons from the current Ukraine-Russia front lines which are controlled on both sides by sophisticated drone activity.

That Dannenbaum fag apparently has never heard of the term "unlawful combatant" under International Law. Running around a battlefield shooting at uniformed troops while wearing civilian clothes and no identifying mark such as an armband or brassard to show that you're part of a lawful military/paramilitary unit qualifies you as an unlawful combatant.
Interesting aside, unlawful combatants can be summarily executed under the Geneva and Hague Conventions without violating the Laws of War.
Hell, even the Crips and Bloods in the US would qualify as lawful combatants, because they wear blue and red identifying marks. These middle eastern mohammedans never wear anything to identify themselves. Chinese knock-off counterfeit sneakers doesn't count.

There were reports of some Iranian city falling to the people, with the local police siding with them and against the Basij and IRGC.
Iran cutting off internet to the whole country except loyalists with special SIM cards for about 40 days is going to affect how much gets out.
And, Iran has been calling in its Iraqi militia proxies for more than a week (Israel has taken out a convoy or two of them crossing the border).
Think Iran will be calling in foreign militias if things are going...smoothly?

I suspect Israeli intel knows and that means the US knows too. But, the hits on this or that IRGC and/or Basiji hq are up. And apparently the demand for children to man checkpoints is coming because the attrition rate including desertion and fear, of their street level thugs is too much. I think Israel again is doing the drone ops on the checkpoints. Israeli intel and experience with street level terrorists (see Lebanon, Syria, etc.) with their Air Force and drones plus the US ability to smash hardened and massive infrastructure targets plus sat imagery is proving to be a lethal one two punch to the IRGC regime.

And apparently locals are so disgusted with the IRGC that they are calling in strikes on their own country to get rid of them to Israel at great risk to life and limb.
Israel probably could have destroyed He'sblownup and Ham Ass decades ago had the US and the odious Euros let the Israelis do what needed to be done.

Benedict Arnold was a capable commander until he turned over West Point to England.
He intended to turn West Point over to the British. It did not happen because local militia captured British Major John Andre, found papers in his boot regarding the intended betrayal, and generously stretched his neck when the British would not return Arnold to the Continental forces.
There's a story that George Washington went to Arnold's home to find him and Peggy Arnold engaged in histrionics and rending of her garments to create a delay so 'Dict could get behind British lines.

"In April 2026, Cuba began releasing over 2,000 prisoners as a "humanitarian and sovereign gesture" during Holy Week, under mounting pressure from the Trump administration, which had imposed an oil embargo. While this was one of the largest amnesties in years, multiple sources, including Reuters and American Thinker, reported that the majority were not political prisoners, and none convicted of "crimes against authority" — a category often used against dissidents — were included."

They'll have to be blasted out of existence in their last bunkers like Hitler and his die harders.
The cultists in control are not a majority of the Iranian people, so in principle the people could overthrow them, but the weapons are in the hands of the cultists.
Also, people in the West are really underestimating the inventory of ballistic missiles and drones they still have in these supposedly 27 deep hardened underground facilities and apparently Iranian manpads as well, which supposedly took out the F-15E.
It should be a wake-up call for our military strategists how Iran was readily able to destroy US radars, aircraft and base facilities with missiles and drones and even now we are still in distant stand-off mode from our targets because of this threat.

This operation was more complex than the bin Laden raid.
It took place in unknown territory instead of a compound we'd duplicated for months of training, against a theoretically unlimited OPFOR.
There was functionally no lead time. One minute the -15 was fine, the next there were two Americans on parachutes.
Instead of a unique, homogenous, specialized force, we used combined arms which - while we're all on the same team - complicates things more than none.
This rescue was absolutely bonkers, and the more you look at it, the crazier it gets.

Hell, read up on the Son Tay raid in Vietnam. POW rescue mission about 25 miles outside of Hanoi in 1970 that only failed because the well at the POW camp got contaminated so the NVA moved the prisoners a few weeks prior. The plan included taking a helicopter and intentionally crash landing in the middle of the POW camp after hosing down the guard towers with miniguns at virtually point-blank range.
One of the most complex special ops missions ever attempted by the US, and despite several hiccups and such during the mission, it was executed perfectly. At least 200+ NVA killed, and the strike force had 2 casualties: one trooper was shot in the leg, the other casualty was the crew chief on the intentionally crashed helo, who received a broken ankle when a fire extinguisher broke its securing strap.

The Saudi pipeline is about 7 million barrels (running at capacity now, before the conflict it was doing less than 1 million per day). And the Oman pipeline is about 1.5 million per day, also running at capacity.
Combine that with American shale overproducing to take advantage of the higher prices and demand destruction that comes from high prices, and this is a managed affair that's going to snap back at some point once people realize that Iran is all talk and no "fly drones into ships".

I was worth billions to prevent Iran from dragging one of our men through the streets like they have in the past. Not just for the loss of an American serviceman, but for the propaganda value.
The only reason to hesitate is the fear of making it worse and losing more men. The equipment cost does not enter the equation - it is trivial.
The thing is, these were career risking decisions. Hegseth would have been in a world of shit had he pulled a Jimmy Carter and the mission failed. He put his career on the line for the rescue. Trump DGAF, but he too would have paid a high price.
The win here is that we have leaders willing to put their careers and reputation at risk because it is the right thing to do. What a change.

They send "Dash 8's", which are DeHavilland twin turboprops with less lift capacity, but enough to work with. These are Army aircraft, not AF. They didn't need 130's because they weren't going to carry the MI-6 helicopters, which is why they used 130's to begin with.

Substance abuse behavior of a dry drunk. Brother is still in the throes of it.
Reminds me of the funny moment involving Rob Schneider 1st Lt. in Down Periscope (Kelsey Grammar). Rob's character at one point demands that that the Captain (Kelsey Grammar) surrender control of the ship so the Captain lets Rob make his speech, the crew laughs at Rob, and the Captain tells the 1st Lt. that he is now guilty of attempted mutiny. The rest of it is a spoiler.

The Morning Rant
For Muslims, negotiation is a form of warfare, conducted by other means, and is subject to the same rules.
In the traditional Islamic view, the world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War. The latter is assumed to be at war with Islam until it submits... weakness invites attack, strength commands respect.
Westerners, and particularly Western governments often make the ridiculous assumption that Muslims are part of the empirical, logic-driven philosophy of the West. And even more laughable...they assume that honor, and simply doing what one says one will do is a bedrock of Muslim culture, just as it is in the West. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lies, subterfuge, propaganda...all are accepted methods of negotiation in the Muslim world. The idea that there is some sort of code of honor between people is laughable. Strength is lauded; weakness is mocked and taken advantage of. And following through with commitments is simply unheard of. Behavior is based on what is best for Family, Clan, Country. If that agrees with an agreement, then wonderful. If not...it is also wonderful. Trump confirms U.S. sent guns to Iranian people, but says intermediary kept them
President Donald Trump on Monday indicated that the U.S. had attempted to send guns to the Iranian people to help them fight the Islamic Republic's armed forces, but that the intermediary that was supposed to distribute the weapons merely kept them instead. "We sent some guns," he said. "They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that we sent them to kept them." "So, I am very upset with a certain group of people and they're gonna pay a big price for that," he added.
President Trump is understandably frustrated by what is a common behavior in the Muslim world. Cheating and stealing? Yeah...so? But unlike his predecessors, President Trump may very well punish that behavior, which would be a novel response in the Western world. The Muslim world has come to expect the West to negotiate from a position of weakness, because they simply do not understand the Muslim mindset. While it is unclear that President Trump understands it, it is abundantly clear that he doesn't like it. Iran expected a typical Western military campaign...a few bombs, a few missiles, and they could then get back to their strategy of obfuscation and delay while working to create a missile force that would be unstoppable. That President Trump turned that on its head is a testament to his resolve, and his understanding of the geopolitical reality of a nuclear Iran. But most of all it is obvious that he does not trust the Iranian hierarchy, and that is a sea change in Western dealings with the Muslim world! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

I don't see this as a distinguishing feature really or a particularly damning criticism. Trump bamboozled Iran's mullahs into thinking negotiations were ongoing and decapitated them. There's a reasonably strong tradition of subterfuge in the West going back to at least the Trojan Horse. Winning is what counts, not losing with honor.

This Artemis mission is happening because Elon Musk laid down several markers saying "we aren't finished here, space exploration has only just begun," and it forced NASA out of its torpor and made it *do something big in space again.*
At the same time, AI (for better or worse) has forced the energy sector and government regulators out of their corporate, and brought back nuclear power science. I feel this keenly because I live in the region that is the beating heart of nuclear energy's bright new feature. I'm literally watching them build out all the capacity on a daily basis.
All of this began in King Trump's first glorious regnancy. From a technology standpoint, he has strong armed the US government into turning the clock back 60 years. It's probably the mist concrete example of MAGA he can point to.

And they've been calling in their proxies from Iraq for more than a week.
And Israel has been bombing the convoys of militias crossing the border at the same time.
Calling in reserves when there's literally no sign of a ground invasion happening (it takes...a lot to prep that especially on the other side of the globe). Internal cohesion is gone and they've resorted to outright and active oppression of the people. It's the only thing they have left in their arsenal besides rolling out individual missile launchers and firing single digits of missiles a night (they fired one last night at Saudi Arabia...1).
And I suspect that the remaining IRGC leadership (like Ahmad Vahidim, current IRGC chief) are very high targets that Israel and the US have been trying to take out for weeks.

The voices currently being amplified online are fake, manipulated, and engineered by the cyber army of this cannibalistic regime.
They have locked us in a digital prison and severed our connection to the world specifically so they can control the narrative and project a false sense of fear and submission.

Firebombing of Hamburg.
Two atomic bombings - that only spared Kyoto itself because Stimson lacked the nerve for it. I'd have greenlit that shit without blinking.
There were many, many more less gigantic but very brutal air actions executed by the Allies, all within the same basic framework of phony international laws we have today.
I doubt Trump has anything like those in mind for Iran. People need to get some fucking perspective.

The founders didn't, at first.
But they had to learn and figured out pretty fast how to deal with them. ("...to the shores of Tripoli")
But we're ruled by incompetent "elites" assured of their own moral and intellectual superiority that think Islam is just like Christianity, just possibly superior because it's populated by mostly "brown-ish" people. (Never mind that Arabs are "white", they are sufficiently "exotic".)

The notion of protecting your power grid by putting human shields around the power station is absurd, because:
1) smart bombs are very precise, so unless the kids are on top of the generators, it won't work
2) one could just take out the transmission lines. Anyone who then tries to repair the lines gets pink misted.

Kurds in Iran. Trump said this earlier. Apparently these particular Kurds (depending on who you believe are separatists) stole both the US firearms and Starlink terminals for resale and some of both ended up with IRGC. This group was used apparently starting from months ago and proved to be treacherous as the opposition in cities never received what they were supposed to get.
For the most part, the US has had an idealized ideal of the Kurds as noble opposition fighters due to mutual opposition to Iraqi central government whereas in reality, and from behavior in Europe and other Middle Eastern countries from Turkey, Syria, and Iran, they behave par for the course for Muslims and the Middle East.

the whole “iran killed 50k protestors” is a CIA/Mossad op, both starting/provoking them and using it as a talking point. Anyone who believed it is dumb as hell, or a hasbara op

I don't think it is possible anymore. The IRGC higher ups fear their own people killing them for what they have done for decades in Iran. It is not just the 40-50k killed now but probably the numbers are well over 100k in the last twenty years or so. Quite a civilian bloodletting in 2009 Green Revolution as well. That is the stakes for the IRGC commanders and they have few choices to vacate (except mebbe flee to Afghanistan for an uncertain future).
The IRGC regime members have already pissed the Gulf States off enough that their money and peeps are not welcome in those nations.

You are 100% correct, they are going to go down to the wire just like the nazi's did in 1945. During the siege of berlin the ss and gestapo were still hanging people for "defeatism" when everyone knew it was over.
The irgc is going to do the same and they are going to have to be rooted out from wherever they are hiding and killed before this can end the way Trump wants it to. It is extremely doubtful that the iranian people are going to rise up and overthrow the regime no matter how much we wish it would happen.

The implication that people SHOULDN'T be mad about Fast and Furious, a DOJ effort to frame the American people's constitution for gun deaths in Mexico, allowed to spill over into American soil, as an effort to undermine the Constitution itself is...curious.

Pretty much true. The mullahs were the front men and religion was the excuse for brutal control by the IRGC and their Basiji. In reality, something like 40-50 percent of Iran's economy was ran and owned by the IRGC and its commanders. Distributed despotism by a corrupt aristocratic class (as demonstrated by their spawn liking living the high life in the US and other Western nations).

As I understand it, the Christian victories over invading Muslim armies at Tours (732) and Vienna (1683) occurred when Christian cavalry attacks against the Muslim army encampments in the rear put the loot captured by the Muslims at risk. The Muslim troops headed back from the front line to attempt save their goods.

While he might do that, I'm pretty sure he wants to give the impression that he will do that.
He'll accept losses, and given his history of failure and rebirth, he is willing to gamble, but I don't think he's just throwing the dice. I think he just has a higher risk tolerance than most people (and MUCH higher than most politicians.) High risk, but high reward.
As our country has been slowly drowning from the shackles put on for 80 years, I'm pretty sure that mindset is EXACTLY what we needed.

Artemis/Orion toilet: This is the Universal Waste Management System (UWMS), a compact, lightweight version designed for deep-space missions. It's about 65% smaller and 40% lighter than the main ISS toilet. Urine is vented overboard (with occasional issues like frozen vent lines, as seen recently on Artemis II), while solid waste is stored in odor-controlled canisters and returned to Earth.
The Orion unit has modifications for the lunar journey (e.g., different controller software and no connection to a water-recycling system). It's the first toilet purpose-built for a crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit.
ISS toilets:
The station has multiple units (currently around 4 on the ISS itself, plus others on visiting vehicles).
The primary U.S. segment uses the Waste and Hygiene Compartment (WHC), which includes an older NASA toilet plus a tested UWMS unit for demonstration. Russian segments have their own designs. On the ISS, urine is often processed through the Urine Processor Assembly to recycle water back into drinking water ("today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee"). Solid waste is stored and later disposed of via cargo vehicles like Progress

- This is never brought to address the Muslim hatred of Jews, who also believe in their monotheistic Creator God;
- This does not address the Moslem rejection of the divinity of God's son the Lord Jesus Christ...which is the entire basis of Christianity, fer cryin' out loud.
These folks seem to have never asked a Muslim about this supposed "similarity." If they had, they would have learned that Muslims also hate and reject Christians, but Christians are not their priority at the moment.

Impressionism, though, I find beautiful. The picture is clear when you have distance, as if the artist is saying, take a step back so you can see the whole, not just a tiny portion that may not make sense.

Dunno why, but it works for me.
The biggest issue I have is the front headlight.
James May had a video which was actually a fairly decent critique on the body style from a design perspective. He pointed out that a lot of car manufacturers stayed away from strictly straight lines because it was very hard and precise to get them to meet properly between panels. So if the machining and fitting is off just a little bit, then you can see that the corners do not match at a join.
He also pointed out that having a single light bar as the headlight meant that people ahead of you cannot judge very well how far away you are because you do not have split headlights.

Lyonel Feininger
Charles and Camilla in palace isolation?
---
Context: Painted in Berlin during the onset of WWI, the piece reflects a sense of isolation and dark, inward retreat through its deep tones and compressed space.
Subject: It is based on a drawing Feininger made of a street in Weimar, Germany, featuring stylized architectural forms.
Style: The painting is noted for its "crystalline treatment of light and form," blending emotional tension with structural, geometric lyricism.
Location: The painting is in the collection of the Norton Simon Museum (Pasadena, CA).
About the Artist
Lyonel Feininger (1871–1956): A leading exponent of Expressionism and a key figure in the Bauhaus school.
(AI Overview citing Norton Simon Museum +3)

Don't dislike it; I do like the colors in the painting and the shapes. However, I probably wouldn't hang it.
Thanks.

Wealthy family, 7th of 9 children, grew up at Rose Lawn estate in NY. Home schooled until age 12, then went to military school for 2 years. Reportedly, he was severely disciplined for daydreaming, suffered some ill effects as a result, was allowed to return home.

The Morning Report — 4/7/26
Good morning kids. This morning it's all about miracles and wonders. on the last episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar
also available on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post I poo-pooed the Artemis moon mission but colleague and cob CBD observed how the mission was yet another confirmation of, despite all our many and serious problems, the greatness of this nation in being able to send a sophisticated piece of technology and an incredibly skilled and brave crew on a half million mile journey to the moon and return safely please God. it was plain for all the world to see. while I do question the necessity of the government to be funding and involved in space technology and exploration, the Artemis mission and most especially the free market enterprises such as SpaceX are engaging in the necessary task of giving America the edge in securing the ultimate high ground for our national security and future prosperity. So consider me duly chastised in this regard. I hope that despite it being yet another DC Bureaucracy, perhaps Nasa and its partners in the private sector and the War Dept. can overcome the typical pitfalls of bureaucracy and make great strides in the aforementioned. Maybe I'm being more than a bit Pollyannaish, but still, here we are 53 years after the last lunar mission and making history again.
“You’ve made history and made all America really proud, incredibly proud,” Trump told the four astronauts just hours after they emerged from the far side of the moon. “Humans have really never seen anything quite like what you’re doing in a manned spacecraft,” Trump marveled. “It’s really special.” The commander in chief was introduced to the crew by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who noted the president “wanted to be the first person to greet you after your return from the far side of the moon.”As awe-inspiring as this is, for my money there is nothing more inspiring and incredible as the bravery and daring of our men and women in uniform.
U.S. special operations forces rescued the second crew member from a downed F-15E fighter jet in Iran after a “heavy firefight,” successfully extracting both airmen and all rescue personnel from the country, according to multiple reports.
U.S. officials told Axios and Fox News the high-risk combat search-and-rescue mission recovered the weapon systems officer more than a day after the aircraft was shot down, concluding a complex operation that unfolded behind enemy lines. The weapon systems officer had evaded capture after ejecting alongside the pilot, using Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training to move away from the wreckage and take cover on elevated terrain while activating an emergency beacon, according to reporting cited by Fox News.
“The CIA executed a deception campaign to confuse the Iranians, who were desperately hunting for our airman. On Saturday morning, we achieved our primary objective by finding and providing confirmation that one of America’s best and bravest was alive and concealed in a mountain crevice, still invisible to the enemy but not to the CIA,” Ratcliffe said. (RELATED: Israeli Airstrike Takes Out Top Iranian Intel Chief, Officials Say)Well, I imagine if John Brennan was still running Langley, he'd have guided the IRGC right to the downed airmen. The same Brennan who helped concoct the deception campaign known as the Russian collusion hoax.
hopefully now we can finish the job or at long last the Persian people can rise up and finish off the Mullahs.
President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States attempted to supply Iranian protesters with weapons this year so they could defend themselves against another massacre, but the effort was not successful because Kurdish intermediaries decided to keep some of the guns for themselves.I and doubtless many of you had contemplated this kind of move. well to be fair the Kurds have been the targets of the mullahs, Saddam Hussein and the Turks because of their national aspirations and so arming them I suppose was a bridge too far for the Foggy Bottom bottom dwellers. That said to play devil's advocate do we really want to arm a potential insurgent force that could carry out terroristic acts in the same vein as the Basque separatists of Eta or the Ira?
then again the Kurds are not fanatical islamists. but if they can destabilize and counter the IRGC and mullahs maybe it's missed opportunity. with that... Have a great day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

ACTUAL SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY - The lunar fly-by is scheduled for this evening. As the capsule swings around behind the Moon, there will be a communications black-out from 6:44 pm (Eastern) to 7:25 pm (Eastern). NASA is making a concerted PR effort to compare this to the Apollo 8 mission around the Moon, but the differences are gigantic. Apollo 8 went into orbit around the Moon. There was considerable risk it could get stuck there if its engine failed to fire properly when behind the Moon on its last orbit. Thus, that Apollo 8 blackout was quite tension-filled.

And we all know that if Obama had been a plumber, making jokes about it would have the person canceled and his house firebombed while people screamed how raysis the comedian was.

Trump & Co released a report on US global strategic priorities:
1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine
2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1
3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1
On #1, we have Venezuela, Greenland and soon Cuba
On #2, witness Japan's PM hugging Trump yesterday
On #3, see Europe's open hostility to American interests in Iran. Europe has similar interests, but they fear their imported Muslims
Trump will have us out of NATO by the end of 2026.

Free Speech For People said in a press release Monday that a new national poll found “a majority of likely 2026 voters nationwide support impeaching President Donald Trump,” which the group called “an extraordinary and unprecedented level of support so early in a presidential term.”
The poll, conducted by Lake Research Partners from March 26-30 among 800 likely 2026 general election voters, found that 52 percent support impeaching Trump, while 40 percent oppose it. 46 percent said they strongly support impeachment, compared with 37 percent who strongly oppose it, while 8 percent said they were unsure or had no opinion.
Hey, I'm as pessimistic as the next guy/gal, but I find this very hard to believe. Lake Research Partners...who? Supposedly, the poll encompasses all party lines.

A South African woman said an American told her, we have home invasions in this country, too. She asked, how many people do you know who have been home invaded? None, he said. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had a home invasion, she told him. Her elderly parents were tied up at gunpoint. She was grateful they were only robbed.
My Afrikaner exGF carried a gun as a young woman out on the town. Explained cheerfully, you don’t stop for red lights in South Africa. That’s where they’re waiting for you.

1. They're hand-wringing if Trump is bluffing. TACO! Wait, TACO? "He seems serious this time." All the progtards simply view Trump as impulsive, volatile, no plan whatsoever, stupid and my new favourite pathological, narcissistic mysogynist.
2. Iran is threatening to no longer restrain itself. Because when the bombing started, their first impulse was to hold back. But now bridges, foreign piwer and desalination plants are on the table.
3. Irans calling on civilians to act as human shields and form human chains around power plants. I'm sure their going to get right on that Mo! You first....
I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I don't want this going on until 2069. And if President Trump can help the Cubans before the mid-terms, this all goes down the memory hole.

God Bless the Great People of Iran!

Iran has been threatening to release the real stuff, to really fight back, for more than 4 weeks.
And all their doing is firing a handful of missiles per night at Saudi Arabia and other nearby countries.
They had the golden opportunity to get an American POW to torture live on the Internet. He was injured and alone in their country for 2 days. They lost 1500 men trying to get to him while the US built a makeshift airbase 20 minutes from an Iranian city of 2.2 million people.
All while massive stockpiles of their ballistics weapons capabilities have been destroyed in giant balls of fire for weeks.
I...don't think there's much to escalate with anymore. They would have done it weeks ago. All they have left is terror against their own people and LEGO AI slop videos.

We should not occupy Kharg Island. This would undercut our quest for a change in leadership. And it is an enclave that would consume a lot of resources for force protection coupled with logistics struggles. A new government will need the revenue to rebuild.
Power plants and bridges as targets is a better move. We can start the cleansing of the IRGC from rural areas and borders, moving arms in to let the Iranian people decide. Go long on local concrete firms.

The Communist campaign against innate human nature continues. One reason Communism fails in the long run is it runs counter to human nature, which is not close to pure communism/socialism above a small tribal level. So at medium-to-large scale, the Commies turn to a combination of brain-washing, indoctrination in children's schools, and forced compliance, to force people to live as good little commie workers and citizens.
The Leftists worldwide always turn to propaganda, indoctrination, and forced compliance sooner or later in their quest to rule. They have to.

My take is that I am surprised I'm not aware of some of the bigger ones like Gunther Eagleman but the left's take on this cracks me up...
Silver complains this shows the ecosystem is broken and I see other lefties arguing twitter is an echo chamber.
But I think what it really shows is that right of center people prefer discussions, not hierarchy and honestly there are way, way more right of center people at least in the US. The left is competitive due to fraud, LIVs influenced by the media, and people voting for who is giving them $$$ - none of those three groups is going to go to twitter to ask Brian Allen if the Democrat's take on the Iran war is good for the country.

TYRUS SAYS IT PERFECTLY on the rescue of our airman in Iran: "That decision was his PRESIDENCY. You understand that if ONE person had died what this news cycle would have been. If one pilot hadn’t got out, they’d be screaming war crimes and more!"
“They knew this was his win because all they could talk about was his language. ‘Did you hear what he said?’ You’re damn right I heard what he said!"
“He was willing to put his career on the line and his own team were saying the risk is high, but he went with his gut. With leadership, that’s the difference between being great when you do things for the people regardless of what it does to you politically."

Exactly. My favorite part of President Trump's presser yesterday was the line line "They're great bullshitters."
I did some very basic research on Kharg island. It wouldn't be too hard to take but grok - yeah GIGO - said it's vulnerable to missiles and drone attacks for awhile. Even if the power plants are destroyed, all these have independent power supplies.
Even now, I have to imagine targeting and communications are an issue. Much more if President Trump is bluffing.
Oh grok also said Iran exports 2.2 million barrels of oil a day. Opec is near capacity but at these prices I'm sure all oil producing countries could and would be anxious to cash in. It may take a little while. Gas prices were $5.02 under Biden.

Why stop there lol?
Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) said she will introduce articles of impeachment against Hegseth next week for "repeatedly violating his oath of office and his duty to the Constitution."
The list of reasons is endless. Let's start with him touting America's "air dominance" just before one of our fighter planes was shot down by Iranian air defense and two of our soldiers had to be rescued behind enemy lines, and openly defying a federal judge who ruled that the Pentagon violated the first amendment by restricting press access to his "department of war."
Should impeach him for restricting women and minorities from being promoted to top general positions, because Trump doesn't want to stand next to them in a parade.
Whoever authorized bombing a kindergarten needs to be tried as well as the one that actually did the bombing. We need to make it crystal clear if you are military and don't disobey a illegal order you will face punishment.
Just a reminder that the current “Secretary of War” was kicked out of military service for theft, substance abuse, and sexual misconduct.

After 1/6, Trump was facing his second impeachment trial.
He had already lost the election. He was on his way out of office, and the Senate could have delivered the fatal blow: conviction. It would take 67 Senators, but the GOP could finally lay down a judgement, a constitutional judgement, that Donald J. Trump was no longer allowed in politics for the rest of his lift.
They only got 57 votes. Of the 7 Republicans who voted for conviction, only 3 are left in the Senate.
Seriously...people who dream about impeachment as something remotely feasible should be mocked as fucking stupid.

Remember when they were promising the super advanced missiles that would fly past all the interceptors and everything?
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at April 07, 2026 08:38 AM (mdSmG)
They are doing what they can. They are using some missile warheads that deploy/scatter small entry vehicles with HE warheads. Nearly impossible to target and destroy all the small bombs before they impact. Current US/Israeli anti-missile systems have very limited capability to intercept and destroy warhead before it scatters the small boys. The only good aspect is the small boys can't do a whole lot of damage. But they can play havoc with parked aircraft (one of them may have taken out that E-3C at a Saudi airbase) and randomly hit schools, apartment buildings, and other non-hardened mil and civvy stuff. China likely has similar cluster IRBM warheads aimed at Guam and other US Pacific bases.

There's nothing in his military record regarding substance abuse or sexual misconduct I've seen reported, although various allegations were made regarding both during his civilian life.
He was on orders for Biden's inauguration (many National Guard troops support inauguration), and "was removed from duty at after a fellow guardsman flagged him as a potential "insider threat" due to a "Deus Vult" (Latin for "God wills it") tattoo on his biceps..." He later resigned and retired, but wasn't disciplined.

Cop is called to a domestic disturbance. He parks his car and starts walking up to a house.
When he gets about 10 feet from the door a woman comes sprinting out with a knife charging at him.
He started backing up and reaching for his pistol but he had maybe a second and shot her as she landed at his feet.
Now, what happens if that is an unarmed social worker?
Also if you find threads on this sort of thing you will find the left complains BOTH that the cops arrest to many people when going to domestic disturbances AND that they don't take them seriously enough.
This is caused by the conflict between the left's pro-crime side and its feminist side - something like what happens when you drop a cat with a slice of peanut butter toast on its back onto a carpet...

The rocket is an SLS (Space Launch System)
The manned spacecraft it launches are Orion spacecraft (capsule is out at NASA; and anyway, Orion is massive compared with a Mercury or Gemini (which were officially spacecraft))
The crew named the capsule Integrity.

Meanwhile, the share of Americans in the "core" and "low" middle class segments has declined over that time, primarily because more households in those income groups have jumped ahead economically, AEI found.

“Several others face execution, in violation of international due process and fair trial rights and the right to life”, the fact-finding mission continued, as it warned against a repeat of military attacks on Iranian detention facilities, such as the Israeli strike on Evin Prison last June.

Top Story
- A critical security vulnerability has been discovered in the leaked version of Claude Code. (Adversa)
If you've used Claude Code, you've noticed that it loves running shell commands to examine your codebase, rather than, say, reading it. Or having simple fixed-function code built into the software to do it on your computer.
And it also loves to ask you for permission to run those shell commands.
The vulnerability comes into play when a very long string of shell commands are run together. For the first fifty commands it will check - manually if needed, and in its history of permitted and denied commands if it's in there already.
And on the fifty-first command, it rests. And executes it regardless.
So if someone triggers a long string of commands and the first fifty are innocuous, after that they can take full control of your computer - because Claude Code runs on your computer, and just communicates with the Claude AI service as needed.
The particularly lovely thing here is that Anthropic already fixed this.
But both versions are present inside Claude Code and it using the broken one.

Bartlett Lake has up to 12 performance cores, the most of any mainstream Intel processor. Except that while it runs on common Socket 1700 motherboards, it's not a mainstream processor and only sells to industrial users, and is not supported by common Socket 1700 motherboard BIOSes.
Except it turns out that by changing one digit in the BIOS and reflashing it, it works fine.

Grossi Is a cagey interviewee and he doesn't give up much when asked questions that could easily be politically spun. By this I mean spun in a direction that paints President Trump as a war happy maniac who started bombing Iran on false pretenses that they were close to having nuclear weapons.
With that out of the way, my ear heard Grossi outlining that the Iranians were systematically blocking the IAEA inspections at locations where it was highly suspected they were enriching uranium to military levels. The subtext is the Iranians were hell-bent to build nuclear weapons and were very close to accomplishing that though he wouldn't say with any certainty how close.

The deer stopped by for corn when I was putting out the bird feeders. One was watching carefully as I was taking the little old dog out to burn a patch of grass. Fortunately she doesn't see well and spent the time sniffing dead leaves.
After I escorted the little dog back in, the other two wandered over from the neighboring yard.

Dunno if anything -- a coffee shop, etc. -- will be open at ca. 9 am on a Sunday in El Dorado, but I can have a look.

Two professors from my old department, a married couple, left in about 2012 to take positions at a university in Perth. I looked it up. Perth has a similar climate to LA or San Diego, for the same reasons -- western edge of a continent, being around the same latitude south as LA is north, etc. If it weren't so isolated, seems to me it would be a very popular place to live as far as climate.

For me, it is more a question of Iranian missile development. Once they can build a missile to travel as far as Washington or New York, i think they would suddenly have a nuke package ready to install on top of the rocket.

Rafael Grossi (director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency) says pretty much close to that:
I think the point that Mr. Witkoff is making, which is correct, is that, of course, from the moment you argue that a research reactor--for which you have a lot of fuel for many years even--necessitates, needs you to continue enriching uranium at 20%, then it is understandable that this is problematic for the United States in the negotiation.

Overnight Open Thread [04/06/2026]
The rescue was an Easter miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive and as cool as anyone can be.-- President Donald Trump
Bravery never goes out of fashion-- William Makepeace Thackery
But the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.-- Thucydides
Where all your rights become only an accumulated wrong; where men must beg with bated breath for leave to subsist in their own land, to think their own thoughts, to sing their own songs, to garner the fruits of their own labours...then surely it is a braver, a saner and a truer thing, to be a rebel in act and deed against such circumstances as these than tamely to accept it as the natural lot of men.-- Sir Roger Casement
There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.-- Alexander Hamilton
I love America. American Exceptionalism...all 250 years of it... is a power that is unrivaled in the world. But I cannot remember a time during which I was more proud of my country and being an American than right now. Our magnificent armed forces, made up entirely of the American people, morphed from a pathetic, woke, mess of a force just a few years ago, into a cohesive group that is entirely focused on one thing: destroying our enemies in defense of our nation. They are magnificent, and represent the highest ideals of our great country.
And here's the other side!

"Are you tired of hitting 'Post' before your brain has finished loading? Do you suffer from sudden, uncontrollable urges to share your unfiltered thoughts with the entire internet? You may have Premature Postulation.
Millions of Americans experience embarrassing early posts every day. But now there's help.
Ask your doctor if Premature Postulation is right for you.
Premature Postulation is a once-daily tablet that helps you wait… just a little bit longer… before you regret what you said online.
Side effects may include:
Actually thinking before you post
Fewer late-night “why did I say that?” moments
Sudden bursts of self-awareness
And in rare cases… dignity
Warning: Do not take Premature Postulation if you are currently experiencing a hot take, political rant, or strong urge to argue with strangers.
Premature Postulation: Because some things are better left in the drafts.
Ask your doctor today if Premature Postulation is for you.
Results may vary. Not approved for use while drunk, angry, or extremely online.

From last thread:
>>
Publius, how much navigation can be manually performed by the Orion crew? The Apollo missions could get aligned with a sextant and stars and the rest of it, in a pinch. They wanted to be able to get home again one way or another. Independent of Mission Control, if radio comms were lost, or the Soviets jammed frequencies, or the computer horked.
--------------------
Apollo *required* manual navigation alignment. They had to get their gyro angles manuall reset ever so often and to correct for drift. Think of this as sighting stars to get their own XYZ axis reference properly aligned.
With Orion, it's all automated. Now, I don't know for sure, but I'm certain they would be manual contigency procedures they were trained in if the system failed. But otherwise, manual alignment is not needed.

Four US Army Douglas World Cruisers on that date took off from Seattle. All the navigation they had as via dead reckoning as there were no radios or navigation aids. Two of the four planes would complete the epic journey - Chicago and New Orleans. Two would be lost attempting the heroic effort- Seattle and Boston, all the crews survived.
The planes might have been US Army but the Coast Guard and US Navy would be on hand in planning and support. So this was a fully American effort as ships, personnel, and equipment would be scattered across the globe for this effort.
102 years later, we have witnessed Artemis II go back to the Moon.

A Colonel as WSO? Why?
Air Force Pararescuemen, also known as PJs, are the only DoD elite combat forces specifically organized, trained, equipped, and postured to conduct full spectrum Personnel Recovery (PR) to include both conventional and unconventional combat rescue operations. They use Blackhawks.
Instead, DoD sent Seal Team Six, B-1 bombers, C-130s, little birds. Huh. Why?
Near Isfahan, site of enriched uranium. Was something else going on with the mission?

Great, you're here!
Art the Clown sightings. There's a 2011 'Terrifier - the Short'.
The movie is about 20 minutes but cool. 'All Hallow's Eve' has pretty much all the Art clips tossed together. Circle too. A clip show movie. Not too bad. The second one doesn't have Art.
'Hobo with a Shotgun' was really good and messed up. Especially for a Canadian movie.
And I have seen a few more Korean horrors.

I have been rather puffed up with pride or flatulence over the USA military since forever,but this rescue, oh, boys. IT IS AWESOME!
On top of the skill and planning, our guys wiped out more barbarians! How sweet it is! And rescued all of the pilots (I know he was a wiz something but I'm calling him a pilot because I can).
I am so proud of every single one involved in this rescue or who helped prepare for it.
Millions of prayers answered on Easter Morning makes it more wonderful for the rescue of this man. The US Military no longer leaves anyone behind, like the previous nightmare in diapers.
God Bless America and God bless Moron's and 'ettes, today and every day.
I also liked reading about Chloe, the woke wombat.

Ah, but you're wrong, CBD. Our "force" was never all that woke. It was still full to some extent with people who desire to go against the odds and do great deeds, slaying dragons and toppling tyrants. They weren't allowed to concentrate on that, though. They were stifled, but they were still there, just waiting to burst forth again.
Yes, there are still problematic folks within the ranks, and more than a few in higher ranks and positions. But if the force were truly chock full of wokies and Karens and commies, they never could have come back in one year.
No, these folks were in hiding within the military, waiting for their opportunity to go forth and do great things, once again. BZ, Hooah!, and Aim High!

It isn’t well known, but Commanders on the Space Shuttle took to installing a padlock on the hatch whilst in orbit. There was an incident with one of the foreign “mission specialists” who completely wigged out after the experiment he had been working on for years failed in space. Time is limited, and they had to move on to other things. He started talking in apocalyptic tones and concerning statements. The hatch could be opened in Orbit and ground controllers became concerned

It's below freezing in my part of Canada. My friends' cat Snowflake was by the patio window, after sleeping on my bed all afternoon, wanting to come in. The litterbox, water and a blanket on a shelf is in the garage. I opened the door, turned on the light and walked in deciding that was better than outside.

Th extra gas mileage over the Regal's 22 (on regular) almost paid for the price difference. I never got to take the BMW on a real road trip; I'll bet I could have managed 35 mpg or more even at 70.
The LaCrosse is rated for regular, though I try to put E0 in it when I can. Saw 34 on E0 coming back from Birmingham last year, at 70 the whole way, with the A/C on!

A good friend of mine (now deceased) was on the planning team for Son Tay. It was an incredible accomplishment given the technology and intelligence of the time. We got better with the bin Laden raid but still managed to step on our crank.
The difference here is those events had time to plan. This rescue had just hours to put together a plan and to execute. Sure, an overall SAR plan was in place but you don't know when or where someone goes down. This is where Americans shine.

Well, have fun for me as I have loved it since college! I think I've been to Westminster Abbey 5 times. They day the barbarians burn it down I will go a bit loco, as I was bad enough for Notre Dame.
Enjoy the window boxes! The first time I went, in college on an English Lit travel study, I enjoyed everything a bit too much from pubs. Brit men asked me to streak three different times (it was big then in the US). They'd rag at me about "Tricky Dick" and I ignored them because I voted for him. I rode a horse through Hyde Park and made a fool of myself. Many things happened over 3 weeks.
On the return flight through Atlanta a bunch of us did not hear our plane number as we were in a bar drinking. My parents said there was a big "Welcome Home" thing at the airport and seven of us did not get off the plane. This, right there, tells you what they put up with but still loved me anyway. We caught the next plane to be welcomed by irritated parents. In case you wondered, I wasn't fazed.

Theirs was a form of government where you couldn’t even buy a toaster or a washing machine or a car that anyone would actually buy otherwise, but there was no choice in the matter.
You couldn’t decide to move somewhere else, or even travel, without permission. You couldn’t quit your job and get another, all these things required permission from the local police and Soviet authorities.
This kind of thing was one reason Sputnik frightened everyone. A lot of people didn’t think such a backward, fucked up society had the engineering chops to launch a satellite into space

125 There are those suspicious types that noticed that the Iranian Uranium is stored near where the plane went down and the C-130s landed, and suspect there may be some link to a snatch and grab. However, there is supposed to be 600kg there so it would be hard to get it all and stay un-irradiated
Posted by: Kindltot at April 06, 2026 10:11 PM

Enriched uranium is not very radioactive. However, the Iranian stuff is reportedly in the form of compressed uranium hexafluoride gas in tanks, and that is chemically highly reactive and chemically highly toxic.

Well, that and Tang at my grandparents later in that weekend of forced playing outside with cousins all day. We had gangs and picked on the out of towners from New Orleans.
They only let us inside if it was raining and for meals. This grandfather gave us Dentyne gum.Sugarless poisons early in life. Sometimes this grandmother gave me castor oil without explaining why. I think that's what it was. I was pale but am also blonde.
Between this and riding bikes through DDT clouds in summers made me who I am today.
If injured this grandmother sprayed methiolate or jet fuel on open wounds that nearly sent you into another stratosphere. I don't recall a warning of a bit of a sting...your pain went to 10 or 1l in a split second sitting on that bathroom commode.

"The Russians are incapable of anything, except conquering the world".
Which perfectly captured the weird hybrid the USSR was. Things deemed important by the state, i.e. mostly military things, were attended to, received resources, and generally were pretty good - at least good enough for purpose. Which made the USSR a formidable potential menace. Even while much of the country's society and economy was a sad mess.
Maintenance not in your culture or vocabulary? Make things that don't require a lot of maintenance but still work. ICBM accuracy not so hot? Use very large yield payloads that produce damage expectancy similar to more accurate systems. And so on.

Speaking of Victor Glover, here's a clip of him the other day. The "Overlook Effect" is hitting him like a freight train:
https://is.gd/7cbJza
He's struggling for the words, but does a pretty good job. "Oasis in nothingness", or something close.
The Overlook Effect happens to most (but not all) astronauts at some point. It's a spiritual, transcendental type of experience. It happens in LEO, but the effect is even stronger when you get far enough from earth to see the Blue Marble effect, the earth as a small blue "oasis" against a black background of "nothingness".
It causes a bit of a Rodney King thing, "why can't we all just get along" too.

They even sent guys to try and buy them in the U.S.A. This tracked with what US intelligence believed. We had SIGINT to hack their telemetry data, and saw they were having trouble, using say, 9 accelerometers where 3 would do.

At least I was never locked out of the house!
She also did not let them have pets as she's very OCD. He had those green samonella turtles til we got engaged and got me a puppy "to protect me." And she did once when she was grown, but he basically wanted a puppy.
I still keep forgetting to find out how the turtles give you salmonella unless you lick them. I need to write this stuff down...

Even though the odds are the same as the US becoming a serious country again in the next 20 years, currently the Dems have a bunch of idiots vying for the nomination, creating a small chance of no Dem emerging from the idiotic "jungle primary" system now used in this retarded paradise.
Extremely unlikely, but technically possible that if all the Dems stay in and split up their cretinous voters' votes in the primary, the two GOP hopefuls will emerge as 1 and 2. It would be the funniest thing in modern history if it happened. The buffoon Swallwell being forced out, by itself, would render that outcome nearly impossible.

There doesn't seem to be any accent we can discern.

Getting Moon fever again (reliving my childhood somewhat), I've been listening to some of the (acclerated) Apollo full mission tapes on Youtube.
Charlie Duke as Capcom was quite a pleasure to listen to. Another Apollo guy was Dr. Charles Berry (but don't call him Chuck), head flight surgeon during the Apollo program.
He had a voice, somewhat Southern with something else mixed him. That voice could convince me of anything. It was down-home, "good ole boy" someone you've known all your life, yet authoritative.

I’ve been out to Marta and seen the lights; there an overlook on the highway outside Marfa which onverlooks a long dry plain, probably about 40 miles visibility. It’s weird; they seem ordinary, but nobody can explain them, and first recorded sightings were in the 19th century.
For example, they look like car headlights in the distance, big deal. But there aren’t road out there deep in the brush where they are. The night we were watching, we saw a pair and were thinking “well obviously just somebody in a jeep out there fooling around at night.” We watched them stick right together traveling in a straight line for a couple of minutes. And then suddenly they just split up. Started moving quickly at 180 degrees to each other! Nope, not a jeep. What are they? Lots of people have tried to get close, but they always disappear.

I love that place! Taken my grandson there several times. You can swim on the Paluxy River which runs through the park, and I think it’s the biggest collection of exposed dinosaur tracks in the country, maybe even the world. One wide spot is called “the ballroom”, a flat limestone base maybe 50 yards wide, with literally hundreds of prints in it.
One of the most well known trackways is the where there was a mid sized sauropod, with feet like elephants feet, and there’s a three toed theropod clearly tracking him. (Probably an Allosaurus). You can tell because the trackers footprints are on top of some of the sauropods, showing that they were made at the same time and that the predator was coming up from behind.
And although most are eroded, I found a couple where at the tip of the three toed print, you could even see a deep indention where the claw sank into the mud.

Fort Worth police received calls on April 3, 2026, about a man possibly under the influence soliciting minors for sex at the 3700 block of Century Place apartment complex. Officers arrived at 11:43 a.m. and heard a gunshot. Marckus Renfro, 33, had exchanged words with the man matching the description. As Renfro walked away, the victim approached aggressively. Renfro then shot him in the groin [other accounts say penis]. The victim collapsed near a convenience store.

I think he's down for the night but glad to hear AOP successfully completed his annual northern migration.
I made some notes about the Tx state parks and dinosaur tracks in preparation for a possible late spring RV trip.

Collaboration with evil benefits not but the evil.
The more consistent will prevail
Stalin called together his closest comrades-in-arms. "I understand you're wondering how I govern the people so that every last one of them ... thinks of me as a living god. Now I'll teach you the right attitude toward the people." And he ordered a chicken brought in. He plucked it live, in front of them all, down to the last feather, down to the red flesh, until only the comb was left on its head. "And now watch," he said, and let the chicken go. It could have gone off where it wished, but it went nowhere. It was too hot in the sun and too cold in the shade. The poor bird could only press itself against Stalin's boots. And then he tossed it a crumb of grain, and the bird followed him wherever he went. Otherwise, it would have fallen over from hunger. "That," he told his pupils, "is how you govern our people."
And how LIB Strategic Insanity has gunned you down and set fire to your children (... and indeed, the world)
forWAR'd !!!
LET'S GO BRANDON

Directly threatening the president, he's headed for a blowout. It must be drugs along with his new associates.

I told her not to worry, and to pray for forgiveness. She wasn't trying to be disrespectful to the Church when it happened.

Yep. About 2/3 of the way from Pgh to Uniontown, where the AFM local I belonged to was located.
Pgh, strangely enough (/sarc), is a big union town, and if you wanted to work anything besides wedding receptions (which I did a lot of), like bars, you better have a union card. Only problem was, the Pgh local was pretty much dominated by actual professional musicians, guys that made their living at it. People who wanted to play a couple of gigs a month were not considered, so the initiation fee was $100, and monthly was $25. This was early 60s, when the minimum wage was a buck an hour. Way back in the mists of time, the Pgh and Uniontown locals had an agreement that each could work in the other's territory. Uniontown initiation fee was $35 and monthly was $10. Us Uniontown guys would take gigs that they couldn't afford, and their local hated it.
The national got complaints and finally figured out how to "fix" it: form a new local in Charleroi, merge the Uniontown and Charleston local, and kill the agreement. Net result, fewer bars with live music.

Sis said she & her hubby were waiting in line to get in, and there was a huge crowd. Then the line started moving fast and they got separated. She panicked, looking for him as she entered, and then somebody shoved her so hard that she stumbled-- saying to her "You must pray!" (because she hadn't bowed head and crossed herself upon entry, we guess?) At which point she shouted: "Fuck you! I'm trying to find my husband!"

I'm not surprised. FYI, Unions were also pretty mobbed up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Plus there was a possible error condition with the gyros called "gimbal lock" which could only be fixed via human intervention and human provided information. YouTube short explanation: https://tinyurl.com/3jy6p9jk
Maybe the current capsule has the fourth gimbal; I'm sure that Starship would add a fourth gimbal since the weight delta won't be significant in that beast.

Wow, I'm surprised that you saw an aroused stallion mounting a mare and thought that was playing after you were 13 or so. On the other hand, a coupling pair of large quadrupeds are pretty vulnerable to predators, so it does tend to be a quick in-and-out.
Still, the launcher doesn't extend or retract that quickly.
